A method to assess the variation of urban canyon geometry from sky view factor transects

摘要: Abstract It is now possible to generate large quantities of sky view factor (SVF) values due advances in digital techniques for calculating SVF from hemispherical images. Coupling image acquisition with Global Positioning System (GPS) data enables transects be accurately placed, enabling site-specific analysis relation street geometry. This paper examines through four land cover classes. The findings indicate that although averages are distinctly different each the types, an average value a particular use type not sufficient estimate at resolution.
