Topic Visibility Analysis in 3D Dynamic Visualization of Landscape Features at Hampton Plantation
Abstract This study addresses the importance of power perception in relation to the placement of landscape features at Hampton Plantation. What was visible from the plantation and what visitors perceived of it were of importance in relation to power. To determine what exactly was visible, viewshed analyses from specific observer points in the study area were conducted and analyzed. LiDAR processing and modeling of vegetation and buildings within the study area had to be done before the viewshed analyses could take place. The final results are displayed as a 3D dynamic visualization in ArcScene, which makes it possible to view the landscape as it was in the 19th century and pinpoints which areas are visible to the viewer.
