leetcode - 218. The Skyline Problem

Description

A city's skyline is the outer contour of the silhouette formed by all the buildings in that city when viewed from a distance. Given the locations and heights of all the buildings, return the skyline formed by these buildings collectively.

The geometric information of each building is given in the array buildings where buildings[i] = [lefti, righti, heighti]:

复制代码
lefti is the x coordinate of the left edge of the ith building.
righti is the x coordinate of the right edge of the ith building.
heighti is the height of the ith building.
You may assume all buildings are perfect rectangles grounded on an absolutely flat surface at height 0.

The skyline should be represented as a list of "key points" sorted by their x-coordinate in the form [[x1,y1],[x2,y2],...]. Each key point is the left endpoint of some horizontal segment in the skyline except the last point in the list, which always has a y-coordinate 0 and is used to mark the skyline's termination where the rightmost building ends. Any ground between the leftmost and rightmost buildings should be part of the skyline's contour.

Note: There must be no consecutive horizontal lines of equal height in the output skyline. For instance, [...,[2 3],[4 5],[7 5],[11 5],[12 7],...] is not acceptable; the three lines of height 5 should be merged into one in the final output as such: [...,[2 3],[4 5],[12 7],...]

Example 1:

复制代码
Input: buildings = [[2,9,10],[3,7,15],[5,12,12],[15,20,10],[19,24,8]]
Output: [[2,10],[3,15],[7,12],[12,0],[15,10],[20,8],[24,0]]
Explanation:
Figure A shows the buildings of the input.
Figure B shows the skyline formed by those buildings. The red points in figure B represent the key points in the output list.

Example 2:

复制代码
Input: buildings = [[0,2,3],[2,5,3]]
Output: [[0,3],[5,0]]

Constraints:

复制代码
1 <= buildings.length <= 10^4
0 <= lefti < righti <= 2^31 - 1
1 <= heighti <= 2^31 - 1
buildings is sorted by lefti in non-decreasing order.

Solution

Solved after others' solutions...

Line sweep, add height when it's start, minus height when it's end. Use a heap to store (ending_position, height), and compare every point with the top element at the heap. If the point is at the right of the top element, then pop from the heap.

When current height is positive, push it to the heap.

Print the result when the height of the top element is different from the previous printed result.

Time complexity: o ( n log ⁡ n ) o(n\log n) o(nlogn)

Space complexity: o ( n ) o(n) o(n)

    def getSkyline(self, buildings: List[List[int]]) -> List[List[int]]:
        # heap: (height, position)
        heap = [(0, float('inf'))]
        new_buildings = []
        for left, right, height in buildings:
            new_buildings.append((left, height, right))
            new_buildings.append((right, -height, 'doesn\'t matter'))
        new_buildings.sort(key=lambda x: (x[0], -x[1]))
        res = []
        for left, height, right in new_buildings:
            while heap and left >= heap[0][1]:
                heapq.heappop(heap)
            if height > 0:
                heapq.heappush(heap, (-height, right))
            if not res or res[-1][1] != -heap[0][0]:
                res.append([left, -heap[0][0]])
        return res
