Terrain visibility q An observer is a point (in the space) from which
we wish to see or communicate with other points, called targets.
q The radius of interest, R, of an observer means the distance that the observer can see.
q For example, for an observation tower, R is the maximum distance that a person on the tower can see.

Terrain visibility q The viewshed and the joint viewshed are (usually)
represented by a square bit matrix of size 2R x 2R.

q Thus, the (joint) visibility index is the number of 1 bits in the matrix.

Conclusion q We presented a very fast implementation of a
method to site observers on terrains. q This implementation is based on a greedy
strategy combined with a local search where we used dynamic programming and GPU parallel implementation.
q This local search strategy can be used to
improve other heuristics that solves other optimization problems.
