A 3D-gis extensionf for sky view factors assessment in urban environment [PDF]
, 2003 This paper presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) 3D extension that is a tool to simulate the representation of sky view factors (SVF) while calculating their values. The sky view factor (SVF) is a climatological parameter used to characterize radiation properties on urban areas and to express the relationship between the visible area of the ...

Application of Method for Calculating Sky View Factor Using Google Street View: Relation Between Sky View Factor and Physical Elements in Urban Space [PDF]
Proceedings of the ICA, 2019 Abstract. We applied a computation method of calculating the sky view factor (SVF) using Google Street View to Shibuya area, Tokyo, for the purpose of examining the relation between the SVF/SVF change and physical elements. The distribution of the SVF calculated by the above method was visualized, and the statistical process showed the tendency of a ...

Topographic Correction Module at Storm (TC@Storm) [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 Different solar position in combination with terrain slope and aspect result in different illumination of inclined surfaces. Therefore, the retrieved satellite data cannot be accurately transformed to the spectral reflectance, which depends only on the ...
