A Sparse Voxel Octree-Based Framework for Computing Solar Radiation Using 3D City Models

An effective three-dimensional (3D) data representation is required to assess the spatial distribution of the photovoltaic potential over urban building roofs and facades using 3D city models. Voxels have long been used as a spatial data representation, but practical applications of the voxel repres...
