Segment Visibility Counting Queries in Polygons
[article]
2022
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 segment. Our main aim is to obtain fast, $O(\mathop{\textrm{polylog}} nm$), query times, while using as little space as possible. In case the query is a single point, a simple visibility-polygon-based solution achieves $O(\log nm)$ query time using $O(nm^2)$
