Linking disjoint segments into a simple polygon is hard
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Deciding whether a family of disjoint line segments in the plane can be linked into a simple polygon (or a simple polygonal chain) by adding segments between their endpoints is NP-hard. ...
For each visibility edge of this polygon between two endpoints in V (S), we add a visibility edge between the corresponding endpoints in V (S ′ ). ...
Then, following the other visibility edges of the simple polygon through S ′ , which are outside and between the gadgets, S can be linked into a simple polygon too. ...

Visibilty: Finding the Staircase Kernel in Orthogonal Polygons
2012
American Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics
Our result is optimal in the case of orthogonal polygon with holes, since the kernel (as proven) can consist of quadratic number of disjoint regions. ...
We generalize the notion of visibility in the following way: We say that two points a and b in an orthogonal polygon P are visible to each other via staircase paths if and only if there exist an orthogonal ...

Open Guard Edges and Edge Guards in Simple Polygons
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
An open edge of a simple polygon is the set of points in the relative interior of an edge. ...
A guard edge of a polygon is an edge that sees every point inside the polygon. ...
Similarly, if q = d, then c is not visible from the closed edge ab. We conclude that path(b, c) and path(d, a) are disjoint, and Q is a simple polygon. ...

If the input consists of several disjoint polygons, however, it is often desirable to merge them in prepro- cessing so as to reduce a single polygon that retains the geometric characteristics of its individual ...

3D Visibility Representations by Regular Polygons
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We study 3D visibility representations of complete graphs where vertices are represented by equal regular polygons lying in planes parallel to the xy-plane. ...
Edges correspond to the z-parallel visibility among these polygons. ...
We assume that the z-coordinate of P i is i but we use it to identify polygons that can block visibility between other polygons only. ...

Finding a shortest diagonal of a simple polygon in linear time

Computational geometry

A diagonal of a planar, simple polygon P is an open line segment that connects two nonadjacent vertices and lies in the relative interior of P. ...
Theorem 5.5 also implies a linear-time algorithm for computing a closest visible vertex pair of the polygon: a closest visible pair either forms a shortest diagonal or it is an edge of the polygon. ...

Vc-dimension of exterior visibility

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
In this paper, we study the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC)-dimension of set systems arising in 2D polygonal and 3D polyhedral configurations where a subset consists of all points visible from one camera. ...
Here, we consider the case of exterior visibility, where the cameras lie on a constrained area outside the polygon and have to observe the entire boundary. ...
Polygons that are entirely visible from the viewing circle are called externally visible polygons [29] . ...

Circumscribing Polygons and Polygonizations for Disjoint Line Segments
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We prove that every arrangement of n disjoint line segments in the plane has a subset of size Ω(√(n)) that admits a circumscribing polygon, which is the first improvement on this bound in 20 years. ...
A circumscribing polygon is a polygonization for G if every edge in E is an edge of P. ...
We construct a circumscribing polygon for a subset Sb2 ⊆ Sb1 incrementally, while
maintaining a polygon in the segment endpoint visibility graph of Sb1 . ...
