Hugo Ledoux, Ken Arroyo Ohori, Martijn Meijers 2012: Automatically 
repairing invalid polygons with a constrained triangulation

http://www.gdmc.nl/ken/files/12_agile.pdf

Abstract Although the validation of single polygons has received 
considerable attention, the automatic repair of invalid polygons has 
not. Automated repair methods can be considered as interpreting 
ambiguous or ill-defined polygons and giving a coherent and clearly 
defined output. At this moment, automatic tools are not satisfactory and 
repairing is thus mostly a semi-automatic task. We present in this paper 
a novel method, based on a constrained triangulation, to automatically 
repair invalid polygons. We describe our method, highlight ...


Btw. Hugo Ledoux and Ken Arroyo Ohori have also written an article on 
"Edge-matching polygons with a constrained triangulation" :
