A Campus Landscape Visual Evaluation Method Integrating PixScape and UAV Remote Sensing Images by Lili Song, Moyu Wu

“…In order to explore the application of visibility modeling based on high-resolution UAV remote sensing images in landscape visual evaluation, this study takes campus landscape as an example and uses high-resolution campus UAV remote sensing images as the basic data source to analyze the differences between the planar method and tangent method provided by PixScape 1.2 software in visual modeling. Six evaluation factors, including Naturalness (N), Normalized Shannon Diversity Index (S), Contagion (CONTAG), Shannon depth (SD), Depth Line (DL), and Skyline (SL), are selected to evaluate the landscape vision of four viewpoints in the campus based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. …”
