GIS and LIDAR Data Analysis for the Integration of Multidimensional Indicators on Urban Morphogenesis Multi-agent Vector Based Geosimulation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 176))

Abstract

In this paper we present an application of GIS and Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data analysis for computation of buildings visibility, solar exposition and extraction of morphological indicators in the context of urban group analysis and morphogenesis geosimulation. The interdisciplinary project between geomaticians and architects aims to provide a simulation model based upon dynamic computation of building agents’ satisfaction degree, incorporating analysis results using a hybrid approach derived from GIS and raw LIDAR data.
