es.unex.sextante.lighting.viewshed.ApproximatedViewshedAlgorithm

public class ApproximatedViewshedAlgorithm
extends es.unex.sextante.core.GeoAlgorithm

Aproximated Viewshed algorithm. Computes visibility region of a watcher using similarity thresholds and interpolations to reduce the number of computed line-of-sights. Based on the paper "Approximating the visible region of a point on a terrain' by B. Ben-Moshe, P. Carmi, and M.J. Katz (http://cg.scs.carleton.ca/~paz/papers/radar5-1-04.pdf)
