A new approach of the visibility calculation of an object
by William Derigent, Sebastien Remy, Gabriel Ris
International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management (IJMTM), Vol. 6, No. 6, 2004

Abstract: Currently, algorithms of mechanical part visibility determination are slow, because the part surface is cut into numerous elementary surfaces. In this article, we propose to take into account the visibility properties of convex and concave surface patches, in order to treat the object in a global way. This new method is studied on 2D curves; 3D extension is considered.
