Abstract
In this paper we present an application of airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data analysis for computation of buildings
visibility and sunshine in the context of urban morphogenesis geosimulation. The interdisciplinary project between architects
and geomaticians aims to provide a simulation model based upon dynamic computation of building agents’ satisfaction degree,
incorporating visibility and sunshine analysis results derived from raw LIDAR data. For the buildings in study, the visibility
and sunshine analysis are undertaken at different heights along its façades, in order to obtain a classification as input
for the multi-agent vector urban modelling system.
Keywords LIDAR data - visibility analysis - sunshine analysis - multi-agent system - geosimulation
