Advancing landscape visibility-mapping through data analytics

你从家里、病床或办公室看到的东西可能会对你的生活质量产生巨大的影响。绿地和自然景观的能见度已被证明有助于增进健康，并提振房价。但视线也可能为空气污染物、噪音和其他影响人类福祉、规划决策和经济结果的重要因素的传播提供重要信息。该博士学位提供了与领先的地理数据提供商之一的地形测量局合作的令人兴奋的机会，通过应用数据分析、现场线建模和信息合成来推动地图技术的边界。

What you can see from your house or hospital bed or office can have huge implications for your quality of life. The visibility of green space and natural landscapes has been shown to enhance health and boost house prices. But line of sight may also provide important information for the spread of air pollutants, noise and other important factors that affect human wellbeing, planning decisions, and economic outcomes. This PhD offers and exciting opportunity to work with Ordnance Survey, one of the leading providers of geographic data, to push back the boundaries of mapping technology through the application of data analytics, line-of-site modelling and information synthesis.
