Improving Visibility Testing in Terrain Navigation

In this project, the intern will be tasked with improving the visibility testing algorithms in a

commercial simulation software product. In the software, a large number of entities (such as

military forces or emergency response personnel, including vehicles and people) are moving

around on a two-dimensional map. The inter-entity visibility (that is, which entities are visible

by any given entity) is crucial to the decision-making in the simulation, but the current solution

employed by the software is too time-consuming. The intern will explore and implement more

efficient algorithms for visibility testing. The expected benefit to the partner organization is

faster simulation speed.
