This paper describes a new parallel raster terrain visibility (or viewshed) algorithm, based on the sweep-line model of [Van Kreveld 1996]. Computing the terrain visible from a given observer is required for many GIS applications, with applications ranging from radio tower siting to aesthetics. Processing the newly available higher resolution terrain data requires faster architectures and algor...

Having controlled for view, it is assumed that any residual amenity value represents the benefit derived from households from accessing the beach for leisure or recreational purposes. However, as properties closer to the beach typically have improved viewsheds, the two amenities are h...
