In a geometric context, two objects are “visible” to each other if there is a line segment connecting them that does not cross any obstacles. Over 500 papers have been published on aspects of visibility in computational geometry in the last 40 years. The research can be broadly classified as primarily focused on combinatorial issues, or primarily focused on algorithms. We partition the combinat...
