AB The selection of the minimal number of observers that ensures the maximum visual coverageover an area represented by a digital elevation model (DEM) have great interest in many elds, e.g., telecommunications, environment planning, among others. However, this problemis complex and intractable when the number of points of the DEM is relatively high. Thiscomplexity is due to three issues: 1) the di culty in determining the visibility of the terrainfrom one point, 2) the need to know the visibility at all points of the terrain and 3) thecombinatorial complexity of the selection of observers.The recent progress in total-viewshed maps computation not only provides an e cient solu-tion to the  rst two problems, but also opens other ways to new solutions that were unthinkablepreviously. This paper presents a new type of cartography, called the masked total viewshedmap, and provides optimal solutions for both sequential and simultaneous observers location.
