Geometrical Assessment of Sunlit and Shaded Area of Urban Trees Based on Aligned Orthographic Views

To quantify the ecosystem services of trees in urban environments, it is necessary to assess received direct solar radiation of each tree. While the Sky View Factor (SVF) is suitable for assessing the total incoming short- and longwave radiation fluxes, its information is limited to specific points...
