QuVue is a plugin for uVSF(SkyView Ratio) Analysis. It is a new index for measuring visible sky ratios that overcomes the major hurdles of current methods. It calculates the actual three-dimensional projection area of obstacles onto a virtual hemisphere, considering humans’ downward view. QuVue is TRADEMARKED and its a free program.
The paper is about developing qualitative performance measure and using Multi-objective optimization to find a high-performance design in both qualitative and quantitative.
