3D Point Clouds and Eye Tracking for Investigating the Perception and Acceptance of Power Lines in Different Landscapes

摘要: The perception of the visual landscape impact is a significant factor explaining public’s acceptance energy infrastructure developments. Yet, there lack knowledge how people perceive and accept power lines in certain types combination with wind turbines, required setting to achieve goals turnaround. goal this work was demonstrate 3D point cloud visualizations could be used for an eye tracking study systematically investigate scenarios lines. near-natural urban landscapes were prepared based on data from airborne terrestrial laser scanning. These scenes altered varying amounts respective infrastructure, they provided stimuli laboratory experiment 49 participants. Eye questionnaires served measuring participants’ responses. results show that cloud-based simulations offered suitable study. Particularly analysis guided perceptions, approach fostered understanding disturbing elements. A comparative situ recommended further evaluate quality simulations, whether produce similar responses as real world.
