218\. The Skyline Problem

Hard

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]:

*   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:**

![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/12/01/merged.jpg)

**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:**

**Input:** buildings = [[0,2,3],[2,5,3]]

**Output:** [[0,3],[5,0]] 

**Constraints:**

*   1 <= buildings.length <= 104
*   0 <= lefti < righti <= 231 - 1
*   1 <= heighti <= 231 - 1
*   `buildings` is sorted by lefti in non-decreasing order.
