Abstract

In general, visibility reconstruction problems involve determining a set of objects in the plane that exhibit a specified set of visibility constraints. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for reconstructing a set of parallel line segments from specified visibility information contained in an extended endpoint visibility graph. The algorithm runs in polynomial time and relies on simple vector arithmetic to generate a system of linear inequalities. A related problem, solvable with the same technique, is the point reconstruction problem, in which the cyclic ordering and the x-coordinates of a set of points is specified. A second contribution is the definition of an extension of the visibility graph called the Stab Graph, which contains extra visibility information.
