滑动摄像机保护正交多边形的新硬度结果

New Hardness Results for Guarding Orthogonal Polygons with Sliding Cameras

Stephane Durocher, Saeed Mehrabi

摘要:

设$P$为正交多边形。考虑沿着正交线段$s\in P$来回行进的滑动相机作为其\emph{trajectory}。如果存在点$q\in s$,使得$pq$是完全在$P$内部的垂直于$s$的线段,则摄像机可以看到点$p\in P$。在\emph{minimum-cardinality sliding cameras problem}中,目标是找到具有最小基数的滑动相机的集合$S$以保护$P$(即,$P$中的每个点都可以被某个滑动摄像机看到),而在\emph{minimum-length sliding cameras problem}中,目标是找到这样一组$S$,以便最小化$S$中的摄像机沿其行进的轨迹的总长度。在本文中,我们首先解决了最小长度滑动摄像机问题的复杂性,通过证明即使对于带孔的正交多边形,它也是多项式可处理的,回答了Katz和Morgenstern(2011)提出的问题。接下来我们证明了当允许$P$有洞时,最小基数滑动摄像机问题是\textsc{NP} -困难的,这部分回答了Katz和Morgenstern(2011)提出的另一个问题。

英文摘要:

Let $P$ be an orthogonal polygon. Consider a sliding camera that travels back and forth along an orthogonal line segment $s\in P$ as its \emph{trajectory}. The camera can see a point $p\in P$ if there exists a point $q\in s$ such that $pq$ is a line segment normal to $s$ that is completely inside $P$. In the \emph{minimum-cardinality sliding cameras problem}, the objective is to find a set $S$ of sliding cameras of minimum cardinality to guard $P$ (i.e., every point in $P$ can be seen by some sliding camera) while in the \emph{minimum-length sliding cameras problem} the goal is to find such a set $S$ so as to minimize the total length of trajectories along which the cameras in $S$ travel. In this paper, we first settle the complexity of the minimum-length sliding cameras problem by showing that it is polynomial tractable even for orthogonal polygons with holes, answering a question asked by Katz and Morgenstern (2011). We next show that the minimum-cardinality sliding cameras problem is \textsc{NP}-hard when $P$ is allowed to have holes, which partially answers another question asked by Katz and Morgenstern (2011).
