Even though landscape quality is largely a subjective issue, the integration of infrastructure into landscapes has been identified as key element sustainability. In spatial planning context, impacts that are generated by infrastructures commonly quantified through visibility analysis. this study, we develop new method analysis and apply it in case study reservoir (Plastiras dam Greece). The met...

We first consider the set of faces of the complex representing rays issued from a given object. We define an order on these faces and show, once the visibility complex is computed, how to visit all of them with no additional data structure in optimal time O(kf ), where kf is the number of faces visited. Then we show how to use this walk to perform a topological sweep of the vertices incident to...

Let P be a finite set of points in the plane and S a set of non-crossing line segments with endpoints in P . The visibility graph of P with respect to S, denoted Vis(P, S), has vertex set P and an edge for each pair of vertices u, v in P for which no line segment of S properly intersects uv. We show that the constrained half-θ6-graph (which is identical to the constrained Delaunay graph whose e...

Everett et al. [EHN96, EHN97] introduced several varieties of stabbing information for the lines determined by pairs of vertices of a simple polygon P , and established their relationships to vertex visibility and other combinatorial data. In the same spirit, we define the “zero-parity (ZP) stabbing information” to be a natural weakening of their “weak stabbing information,” retaining only the ...

A visibility relation can be viewed as a graph: the uncountable graph of a visibility relationship between points in a polygon P is called the point visibility graph (PVG) of P. In this paper we explore the use of perfect graphs to characterize tractable subprob-lems of visibility problems. Our main result is a characterization of which polygons are guaranteed to have weakly triangulated PVGs, ...

In 3D terrain navigation applications, the views based on general perspective projection often find features of interest (FOIs) being occluded. As an alternative, panorama-like views preserve the similarity between 3D scenes before and after the deformations while ensuring the visibility of interested features. In this paper, an automatic method for generating panoramic map-like views is propos...

The discovery, representation and reconstruction of Business Networks (BN) from Network Mining (NM) raw data is a difficult problem for enterprises. This is due to huge amounts of complex business processes within and across enterprise boundaries, heterogeneous technology stacks, and fragmented data. To remain competitive, visibility into the enterprise and partner networks on different, interr...

Measurement of surface visibility is important for the management of air quality, human health, and transportation. Currently, visibility measurements are only available through ground-based instrumentation, such as the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), and therefore lack spatial coverage. In analogy to the recent work of using satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) to derive surf...
