Abstract:
To computer circular visibility inside a simple polygon, circular arcs that emanate from a given interior point are classified with respect to the edges of the polygon they first intersect. Representing these sets of circular arcs by their centers results in a planar partition called the circular visibility diagram. AnO(n) algorithm is given for constructing the circular visibility diagram for a simple polygon withn vertices.
