TY - JOUR TI - Point cloud based viewshed generation in AutoCad Civil 3D AU - Orlof, Jerzy TI - Point cloud based viewshed generation in AutoCad Civil 3D AB - We propose a new method for a point cloud based viewshed generation. We start with a brief summary of existing methods for viewshed generation and then present ours based on point clouds. The method is implemented in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Moreover, we present an idea of how to deal with huge point clouds using AutoCAD Civil 3D and how to automatize this process.
