Quantitative description of the quality images from military sight-seeing systems, particularly those armored vehicles, implies specific approaches different used in traditional image processing for civilian needs. Our analysis literature shows that there are several disadvantages definitions quantitative indices, which makes them inapplicable characterization targets systems. First, indices de...

Many interesting application problems on terrains involve visibility computations; for example, the search for optimal locations of observation points, line-of-sight communication problems, and the computation of hidden or scenic paths. The solution of such problems needs techniques to answer visibility queries on a terrain eeciently, and/or the development of data structures encoding the visib...
