Icosahedron face-crossing cells
GlobalCells spanning two icosahedron faces are distorted; edges are not symmetric and area varies.
Detection
Compare edge lengths / inscribed:circumscribed ratio against the resolution norm.
Mitigation
- Densify edges
- Compute circles from the true boundary, never from a nominal edge length
Affected conversions
- H3exact polygon
- H3inscribed circle
