(This is my first time trying to post an embedded notebook here in Community. I hope it went well, and I hope the technique demonstrated in the notebook proves useful.)

Thanks for sharing! I’m not sure why you call them fake? I think you used the definition of Voronoi correctly…
I’ve also made some Voronoi functions before that work on images, even allowing different distance-function for each object. Your sphere version will be useful to me. Thanks!
I call them “fake” in that the results do look like Voronoi diagrams, but there’s not much else you can do with them. To use my first example, VoronoiMesh[] is certainly easier to do stuff with than the fake I made with DensityPlot[].
In an e-mail, Christopher Wolfram suggested that one might be able to use WatershedComponents[] on the resulting pictures, but I have yet to do those experiments.
Regarding the example with multiple objects that you mention, I did something like that in this mathematica.SE answer.
Indeed, I have used Watershed transform on these, there is even a Voronoi example in the documentation of WatershedComponents.
