This paper considers the problem of computing the weak visibility polygon (WVP) of any query line segment pq (or WVP(pq)) inside a given simple polygon P. We present an algorithm that preprocesses P and creates a data structure from which…

Given a simple polygon P in the plane, we present new algorithms and data structures for computing the weak visibility polygon from any query line segment in P. We build a data structure in O(n) time and O(n) space that can compute the…

Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices, we consider the problem of constructing a data structure for visibility queries: for any query point $q \in P$, compute the visibility polygon of $q$ in $P$. To obtain $O(\log n + k)$ query…

Given a simple polygon $P$ consisting of $n$ vertices, we study the problem of designing space-efficient algorithms for computing (i) the visibility polygon of a point inside $P$, (ii) the weak visibility polygon of a line segment inside…

Let $P$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices, and let $q \in P$ be a point in $P$. Let $k \in \{0, \dots, n - 1\}$. A point $p \in P$ is $k$-visible from $q$ if and only if the line segment $pq$ crosses the boundary of $P$ at most $k$…

Given a simple polygon $ \mathcal {P} $ of $ n $ vertices in the Plane. We study the problem of computing the visibility area from a given viewpoint $ q $ inside $ \mathcal {P} $ where only sub-linear variables are allowed for working…

In this paper, we study the following problem of reconstructing a simple polygon: Given a cyclically ordered vertex sequence of an unknown simple polygon P of n vertices and, for each vertex v of P, the sequence of angles defined by all the…

Let $s$ be a point in a polygonal domain $\mathcal{P}$ of $h-1$ holes and $n$ vertices. We consider a quickest visibility query problem. Given a query point $q$ in $\mathcal{P}$, the goal is to find a shortest path in $\mathcal{P}$ to move…

We present an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm that determines whether a given planar $n$-gon is weakly simple. This improves upon an $O(n^2\log n)$-time algorithm by Chang, Erickson, and Xu (2015). Weakly simple polygons are required as input…

Let $P$ be a simple polygon with $n$ vertices, and let $A$ be a set of $m$ points or line segments inside $P$. We develop data structures that can efficiently count the number of objects from $A$ that are visible to a query point or a query…

A closed curve in the plane is weakly simple if it is the limit (in the Fr\'echet metric) of a sequence of simple closed curves. We describe an algorithm to determine whether a closed walk of length n in a simple plane graph is weakly…

We present several algorithms for computing the visibility polygon of a simple polygon $P$ from a viewpoint inside the polygon, when the polygon resides in read-only memory and only few working variables can be used. The first algorithm…

Given $n$ line segments in the plane, do they form the edge set of a \emph{weakly simple polygon}; that is, can the segment endpoints be perturbed by at most $\varepsilon$, for any $\varepsilon>0$, to obtain a simple polygon? While the…

We study the query version of constrained minimum link paths between two points inside a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices such that there is at least one point on the path, visible from a query point. The method is based on partitioning…

For a polygon P with n vertices, the vertex guarding problem asks for the minimum subset G of P's vertices such that every point in P is seen by at least one point in G. This problem is NP-complete and APX-hard. The first approximation…

We devise the following dynamic algorithms for both maintaining as well as querying for the visibility and weak visibility polygons amid vertex insertions and/or deletions to the simple polygon. * A fully-dynamic algorithm for maintaining…

We devise an algorithm for maintaining the visibility polygon of any query point in a dynamic polygonal domain, i.e., as the polygonal domain is modified with vertex insertions and deletions to its obstacles, we update the data structures…

We investigate a practical variant of the well-known polygonal visibility path (watchman) problem. For a polygon $P$, a minimum link visibility path is a polygonal visibility path in $P$ that has the minimum number of links. The problem of…

For a fixed virtual scene (=collection of simplices) S and given observer position p, how many elements of S are weakly visible (i.e. not fully occluded by others) from p? The present work explores the trade-off between query time and…

We introduce the \emph{visibility center} of a set of points inside a polygon -- a point $c_V$ such that the maximum geodesic distance from $c_V$ to see any point in the set is minimized. For a simple polygon of $n$ vertices and a set of…
