The evaluation of urban landscape and the design of urban space are in need of a scientific visual analysis tool that can
wholly include the qualitative analysis, the quantitative analysis and the orientation analysis. With the outstanding
saving, management, visualization and analytical functions of 3D space information, 3DGIS can exactly provide
powerful technique support for this. Based on the humanistic analysis conception, the concept of visual openness index is
introduced, and some visual analysis functions are designed and implemented based on VGEGIS platform. Finally a case
study for the application of visual analysis is carried out and the results show that the urban design scheme evaluation is
improved distinctively.
