A visibility problem, how many guards are enough?

The video explores the art gallery problem, a visibility issue in computational geometry. It discusses how to determine the minimum number of guards needed to observe an entire polygonal gallery. The video explains the triangulation of polygons and their 3-colorability, leading to a proof that the number of guards required is at most the number of vertices divided by three, rounded down. The complexity of finding the actual minimum number of guards is also addressed, highlighting its classification as an NP-hard problem.
