摘要：

A new computational model for space representation, called the isovist, is defined. Given a point x in a space P, the isovist at x, Vz, is the subset of P visible from x. Procedures for computing Vx for polygonal spaces are presented. Next, isovist fields are defined by associating a scalar measure of Vx at each point x in P. The architectural and computational significance of these fields is discussed. Finally, an analysis of computing small, sufficient sets of points is given. A set of points is sufficient if the union of the isovists of the points in the set is the entire space P. Sufficient sets are related to the endpoints of branches of the skeleton in the case of polygonal spaces. © 1979 Academic Press, Inc.
