Analysis of the impact of using GIS and 2.5D modelling in automating the determination of view factors for the purposes of CAMA modelling

The main objective of this research is to investigate the impact of using GIS and 2.5D modelling in automating the process of determining view factors for CAMA modelling. Five metre contour data is used to generate digital terrain models (DTM) in the TIN data structure and in the raster data structure. The two terrain surfaces are assessed for accuracy by using the Town Survey Marks (TSM) height data.
