GRID ANALYSIS


Viewpoint Analysis

You can perform two types of viewpoint analysis on elevation grids—viewshed analysis and point-to-point analysis—to determine the degree of visual exposure specific locations have with surrounding areas. These can be applied to applications such as the sighting of telecommunication towers and determining the visibility of logging sites from urban areas.

Viewshed Analysis

In a viewshed analysis a single location is chosen as the viewing  location from which you calculate those areas that are visible and invisible to this location.

Point-to-Point Analysis
In a point-to-point analysis you specify two viewing locations. Vertical Mapper not only determines if locations are intervisible but also what changes are required to make locations intervisible. The results can be shown on a map or in a graph.
