Polygon Art Gallery Problem

The Polygon Art Gallery Problem involves determining the minimum number of security cameras needed to watch every part of an art gallery shaped like a polygon. Each camera has a specific viewpoint, and the goal is to place the fewest cameras so that their fields of view cover the entire area, including all walls and corners. This problem helps optimize security planning by finding efficient camera placements, ensuring the gallery is fully monitored while minimizing costs. It's a practical application of computational geometry, focusing on how to cover complex shapes with the least resources.
