Visibility

Visibility metrics assess how enclosed or open the street environment is at each point in the network, based on the surrounding built form. cityseer computes visibility by casting rays from each network node and measuring how far they travel before hitting a building or obstruction.

NotebookDescription
vis_osmVisibility from OSM building footprints via bounding box.
vis_gpdVisibility from building footprints in a geopandas GeoDataFrame.
