found: Material forming processes, 2003:p. 25 ([alpha]-shapes are a generalization of the concept of the convex hull of a cloud of points and are widely used in the field of scientific visualization and computational geometry to give a shape to a set of points; an [alpha]-shape is a polytope that is not necessarily convex nor connected, being triangulated by a subset of the Delaunay triangulation of the points)
found: Color imaging X, 2005:p. 202 (Alpha shapes are a family of shapes controlled by some parameter [alpha], that choose certain simplices from the Delaunay triangulation)
