Abstract

In Chap. 3, we considered various optimization problems for one or more point-observers which are stationary with respect to the object \(\mathcal{O}\) under observation in the world space \(\mathcal{W}\). For a single stationary point-observer, total visibility of \(\mathcal{O}\) may not be attainable.
