Abstract
A line-of-sight determination method includes: a point cloud data acquisition step of acquiring point cloud data including a first position indicating a position of a first wireless station and a plurality of second positions indicating positions on a structure serving as a candidate in which a second wireless station opposing the first wireless station is to be installed; and a line-of-sight determination step of determining whether or not there is a line of sight between the first position and at least one of the second positions, and determining whether or not there is a line of sight between the first wireless station and the structure based on the determination result. In the line-of-sight determination step, if it has been determined that there is no line of sight between the first position and a first second position of the second positions, it is not determined whether or not there is a line of sight between the first position and a second second position among the second positions, the second second position being located in the vicinity of the first second position.
