Abstract
This work focuses on the visibility of exterior of a polygon. We show a lower bound for the Fortress Problem applied to polygons P having n vertices in terms of the number of reflex vertices, the number of convex vertices and the number of pockets that are found when the convex hull is made on P. The results are related to the task of the geometric data acquisition for architectural surveys through techniques such as laser scanner.
期刊介绍:
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
