摘要
Visibility analyses are essential analyses in both landscape and urban planning. Currently, available tools do not provide means to answer many complex questions related to the visibility. These complex questions are solved by so-called extended viewshedsor visibility indices. This article describes the Line of Sight Analyst toolbox for ArcGIS (version 10.x), which is focused on the creation and analyses of line-of-sight. The toolbox provides tools for a user to construct and analyse lines-of-sight, through calculation of extended viewsheds, and extract locations of horizons from line-of-sight. Most of the visibility indices that are calculated by this toolbox cannot be calculated in any currently available geographical information system.
