Sky-View Factor as a Relief Visualization Technique

  • Klemen Zakšek,
  • Kristof Oštir and
  • Žiga Kokalj

23 February 2011

Remote sensing has become the most important data source for the digital elevation model (DEM) generation. DEM analyses can be applied in various fields and many of them require appropriate DEM visualization support. Analytical hill-shading is the mo...
