Recent results in art galleries (geometry)

TC Shermer - Proceedings of the IEEE, 1992 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Two points in a polygon are called if the straight line between them lies entirely inside the
polygon. The art gallery problem for a polygon P is to find a minimum set of points G in P …

Art gallery and illumination problems

J Urrutia - Handbook of computational geometry, 2000 - Elsevier
Abstract In 1973, Victor Klee posed the following question: How many guards are necessary,
and how many are sufficient to patrol the paintings and works of art in an art gallery with n …

[PDF][PDF] Covering polygons is hard

JC Culberson, RA Reckhow - J. Algorithms, 1994 - Citeseer
We show the following results for polygons without holes: 1. covering the interior or
boundary of an arbitrary polygon with convex polygons is NP-hard, 2. covering the vertices …

Inapproximability results for guarding polygons and terrains

S Eidenbenz, C Stamm, P Widmayer - Algorithmica, 2001 - Springer
Past research on art gallery problems has concentrated almost exclusively on bounds on the
numbers of guards needed in the worst case in various settings. On the complexity side …

Construction and optimization of CSG representations

V Shapiro, DL Vossler - Computer-Aided Design, 1991 - Elsevier
Boundary representations (B-reps) and constructive solid geometry (CSG) are widely used
representation schemes for solids. While the problem of computing a B-rep from a CSG …

An exact and efficient algorithm for the orthogonal art gallery problem

MC Couto, CC De Souza - XX Brazilian Symposium on …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we propose an exact algorithm to solve the orthogonal art gallery problem in
which guards can only be placed on the vertices of the polygon P representing the gallery …

Efficient CSG representations of two-dimensional solids

V Shapiro, DL Vossler - 1991 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
Good methods are known for converting a Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
representation of a solid into a boundary representation (b-rep) of the solid, but not for …

[PDF][PDF] (In-) Approximability of visibility problems on polygons and terrains

S Eidenbenz - 2000 - research-collection.ethz.ch
Visibility problems appear in a variety of applicative backgrounds. While the traditional" art
gallery" problem, which consists of guarding a given floor plan of an art gallery by a …

Image analysis and computer vision: 1988

A Rosenfeld - Computer vision, graphics, and image processing, 1989 - Elsevier
This paper presents a bibliography of over 1600 references related to computer vision and
image analysis, arranged by subject matter. The topics covered include architectures; …

Maximum clique and minimum clique partition in visibility graphs

S Eidenbenz, C Stamm - IFIP International Conference on Theoretical …, 2000 - Springer
In an alternative approach to “characterizing” the graph class of visibility graphs of simple
polygons, we study the problem of finding a maximum clique in the visibility graph of a …
