Abstract

We investigate 3-d visibility problems in which the viewing position moves along a straight flightpath. Specifically we focus on two problems: determining the points along the flightpath at which the topology of the viewed scene changes, and answering rayshooting queries for rays with origin on the flightpath. Three progressively more specialized problems are considered: general scenes, terrains, and terrains with vertical flightpaths.
