  • 1The projection area of 3D shapes is calculated by viewing cubes from three different planes: top, front, and side.
  • 2The total area is derived from summing the maximum heights of columns and rows, along with counting non-zero grid values.
  • 3The algorithm has a time complexity of O(n^2) and a space complexity of O(1), making it efficient for large grids.

Projection Area of 3D Shapes - Math - Easy - LeetCode

On a N * N grid, we place some 1 * 1 * 1 cubes that are axis-aligned with the x, y, and z axes.

Each value v = grid[i][j] represents a tower of v cubes placed on top of grid cell (i, j).

Now we view the projection of these cubes onto the xy, yz, and zx planes.

A projection is like a shadow, that maps our 3 dimensional figure to a 2 dimensional plane.

Here, we are viewing the "shadow" when looking at the cubes from the top, the front, and the side.

Return the total area of all three projections.

Example 1:

Input: [[2]] Output: 5 Example 2:

Input: [[1,2],[3,4]] Output: 17 Explanation: Here are the three projections ("shadows") of the shape made with each axis-aligned plane.

Example 3:

Input: [[1,0],[0,2]] Output: 8 Example 4:

Input: [[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,1,1]] Output: 14 Example 5:

Input: [[2,2,2],[2,1,2],[2,2,2]] Output: 21

Note:

1 <= grid.length = grid[0].length <= 50 0 <= grid[i][j] <= 50

public class Solution {
 public int ProjectionArea(int[][] grid) {
 int res = 0, n = grid.Length;
 for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
 int x = 0, y = 0;
 for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
 x = Math.Max(x, grid[i][j]);
 y = Math.Max(y, grid[j][i]);
 if (grid[i][j] > 0) ++res;
 }
 res += x + y;
 }
 return res;
 }
}

Time Complexity: O(n^2)

Space Complexity: O(1)

Explanation front-back projection area on xz = sum(max value for every col) right-left projection area on yz = sum(max value for every row) top-down projection area on xy = sum(1 for every v > 0)
