Title
3D-viewshed map: a measure of landscape deepness.
Abstract
The 3D perception of the human eye is more impressive in irregular than in flat landscapes. Current visibility computation algorithms in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are based on the concept of 2D-viewshed. Extending these methods to 3D space is too expensive computationally. This paper presents the first approach to compute total 3D-viewshed maps on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The paper provides the first total 3D-viewshed map together with a comparative study of total 2D-viewshed versus total 3D-viewshed maps.
