[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the following embodiments and drawings are combined to specifically illustrate the urban landscape visibility assessment method and application of the present invention.

[0018] In this embodiment, a city landscape sight optimization design device is provided, which is used to obtain a city landscape sight optimization design scheme based on city building landscape data and pedestrian flow data. In this embodiment, the landscape sight optimization design is performed on a specified city. In other embodiments, the specified city can be changed to other specified area ranges, such as districts, counties or plots.

[0019] Figure 1 It is a block diagram of a device for optimizing the design of urban landscape sight lines in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the urban landscape sight line optimization design device 100 includes an initial comprehensive landscape visibility value calculation module 10, an adjustment module 20, an update module 30, a judgment module 40 and a control module 50 for controlling the operation of the above modules.

[0021] The initial comprehensive landscape visibility value calculation module 10 is used to calculate the comprehensive landscape visibility value corresponding to the city as the initial comprehensive landscape visibility value according to the urban building landscape data and the pedestrian flow data by adopting the urban landscape visibility evaluation method.

[0022] Figure 2 4 is a flow chart of a method for evaluating urban landscape visibility in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the urban landscape visibility assessment method includes the following steps:

[0024] Step T1 is a model building step, which builds a city model and a landscape model corresponding to at least one designated landscape according to the city building landscape data.

[0025] In this embodiment, the designated landscape includes landscape mountains and landscape waterways. In other embodiments, the designated landscape also includes specific buildings arranged according to actual needs.

[0026] Step T2 is the step of setting the landscape points, in which a plurality of points are selected in each landscape model as the landscape points.

[0027] For the landscape model corresponding to the landscape mountain, points on multiple different contour lines in the mountain are selected as landscape points. For the landscape model corresponding to the landscape waterway, multiple points in the waterway are selected as landscape points at fixed intervals. In other embodiments, for a specific building as a designated landscape, a specific part of the specific building can be used as a landscape point, such as a specific decoration, outline shape, etc. that can reflect the identity of the specific building.

[0028] Step T3 is the building viewpoint setting step, in which corresponding points are set for each building in the city model as the building viewpoint.

[0029] Step T4 is the street viewpoint setting step. In the city model, n streets with the highest pedestrian and vehicle traffic density are selected as main streets according to pedestrian flow data, and multiple points are selected in each main street as street viewpoints.

[0030] The main streets are divided according to fixed intervals to obtain multiple street viewpoints. In this embodiment, the fixed interval is 50 meters.

[0031] Step T5 is a grid division step, which divides the city model into a plurality of grid plots. In this embodiment, each grid plot has the same area.

[0032] Step T6 is a landscape visibility value calculation step. For each grid plot, the landscape visibility value of the grid plot is calculated based on whether there is any obstruction between the lines connecting each building view point and street view point in the grid plot and each landscape point.

[0033] In step T6, it is determined whether there is any obstruction on the line between the building viewpoint and the landscape point. If so, the visibility value between the building corresponding to the building viewpoint and the designated landscape corresponding to the landscape point is set to 1, otherwise, the visibility value is set to 0. It is determined whether there is any obstruction on the line between the street viewpoint and the landscape point. If so, the visibility value between the main street corresponding to the street viewpoint and the designated landscape corresponding to the landscape point is set to 1, otherwise, the visibility value is set to 0. The landscape visibility value of a grid plot is the sum of the visibility values ​​corresponding to all buildings and main streets in the grid plot.

[0034] Step T7 is a step of calculating the comprehensive landscape visibility value, and the comprehensive landscape visibility value of the city is calculated based on the landscape visibility values ​​of all grid plots.

[0035] The comprehensive landscape visibility value in step T7 is the sum of all landscape visibility values.

[0036] In this embodiment, step T2, step T3, step T4 and step T5 are executed in sequence. In other embodiments, the order of step T2 to step T5 can be adjusted according to actual needs, or part or all of step T2 to step T5 can be executed synchronously.

[0037] The adjustment module 20 is used to adjust the building data in the urban building landscape data.

[0038] The building data include the building density, height, bottom length, angle between the long side of the building and the specified landscape, projection length of the long side of the building to the specified landscape direction, and the distance between the building viewpoint and the landscape point.

[0039] The updating module 30 is used to calculate the comprehensive landscape visibility value corresponding to the city according to the urban building landscape data and the pedestrian flow data, using the urban landscape visibility evaluation method, as an updated comprehensive landscape visibility value.

[0040] The judgment module 40 is used to judge whether the termination condition is met according to the updated comprehensive landscape visibility value and the initial comprehensive landscape visibility value. If so, the adjusted building data is used as the urban landscape sight optimization design scheme. If not, the adjustment module 20 is controlled to run. In this embodiment, the termination condition is that the difference between the updated comprehensive landscape visibility value and the initial comprehensive landscape visibility value is greater than a preset value.

[0041] The control module 50 stores a control program for controlling the operation of each module.

[0042] The following describes the process of performing a method for optimizing a city landscape sight line using the city landscape sight line optimization design device 100 in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 3 It is a flow chart of the urban landscape sight line optimization design method in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the urban landscape sight line optimization design method includes the following steps:

[0045] Step S1, using the initial comprehensive landscape visibility value calculation module 10 to calculate the comprehensive landscape visibility value corresponding to the city as the initial comprehensive landscape visibility value according to the urban building landscape data and the pedestrian flow data and using the urban landscape visibility evaluation method.

[0046] Step S2: using the adjustment module 20 to adjust the building data in the urban building landscape data.

[0047] Step S3, using the updating module 30 to calculate the comprehensive landscape visibility value corresponding to the city according to the urban building landscape data and the pedestrian flow data and using the urban landscape visibility evaluation method, as an updated comprehensive landscape visibility value.

[0048] Step S4, using the judgment module 40 to judge whether the termination condition is met according to the updated comprehensive landscape visibility value and the initial comprehensive landscape visibility value, if so, the adjusted building data is used as the urban landscape sight optimization design scheme, if not, executing step S2.
