High Level Overview High Level Overview • Experts create visibility and • Urban planning • Urban planning Thomas Ortner, Johannes Sorger, Harald Steinlechner, Gerd Hesina, Harald landmark occlusion maps • What is the visual impact of new buildings on city scape? Piringer, Eduard Groller. • What is the visual impact of new buildings on city scape? • How will it look from multiple different perspectives? IEEE TVCG 23(2):1139-1151 2017 • How will it look from multiple different perspectives? • How can we easily compare different buildings beyond subjective perception? • How can we easily compare different buildings beyond subjective perception? • Vis-A-Ware • Qualitative and quantitative evaluation, ranking, and comparison on the different types of “visibility” of candidate buildings from various viewpoints • Links together a 3D spatial urban view with non-spatial data for more context Matthew Chun 2 3 4 Domain Practice Domain Practice Task Analysis Task Analysis • Photo montages that overlay • 3D rendering from a real images with virtual few viewpoints • With a combination of above techniques, compare candidate buildings • With a combination of above techniques, compare candidate buildings candidate buildings with respect to visual impact (Current Practices) with respect to visual impact (Current Practices) • Haptic models • Qualitative -> Potential subjective bias • Qualitative -> Potential subjective bias • Can only compare a few viewpoints at a time • Can only compare a few viewpoints at a time • Can we also compare candidate buildings in a more holistic manner? (Suggested New Practice) • Quantitative -> More specificity in details (eg. How occluded) • More comparisons possible -> Multiple viewpoints • Is it possible to combine the current and new approaches? 5 6 7 8 Related Work Related Work Related Work Design Goals • Occlusion culling • Occlusion culling • Occlusion culling • G1: Compute intuitive metrics for quantifying visual impact of • Geographic Info • Geographic Info candidates with respect to specific viewpoints System (GIS) System (GIS) • Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) • Coordinated Multiple Views (CMV) 9 10 11 12 Design Goals Design Goals Design Goals Design Goals • G1: Compute intuitive metrics for quantifying visual impact of • G1: Compute intuitive metrics for quantifying visual impact of • G1: Compute intuitive metrics for quantifying visual impact of • G1: Compute intuitive metrics for quantifying visual impact of candidates with respect to specific viewpoints candidates with respect to specific viewpoints candidates with respect to specific viewpoints candidates with respect to specific viewpoints • G2: Tight integration of spatial views and non-spatial views to allow for • G2: Tight integration of spatial views and non-spatial views to allow for • G2: Tight integration of spatial views and non-spatial views to allow for • G2: Tight integration of spatial views and non-spatial views to allow for a linked analysis of quantitative and qualitative data a linked analysis of quantitative and qualitative data a linked analysis of quantitative and qualitative data a linked analysis of quantitative and qualitative data • G3: Fast identification of candidates or viewpoints exhibiting high • G3: Fast identification of candidates or viewpoints exhibiting high • G3: Fast identification of candidates or viewpoints exhibiting high visual impact values visual impact values visual impact values • G4: Providing an overview of the spatial distribution of viewpoints with • G4: Providing an overview of the spatial distribution of viewpoints with high visual impact high visual impact • G5: Intuitive filtering, ranking, and comparison of candidates as well as viewpoints 13 14 15 16
