...…the second factor, some studies have been concentrated on the generalization of images to reduce the complexity, e.g. adjusting the transparency (Raposo and Brewer 2014), adjusting the contrast (Welch 1972, Albertz and Tauch 1994, Murphy 2014), smoothing the image (Dong et al. 2014), and…...

...Further, several scholars believe that preferred landscapes are those that offer diverse spatial information to viewers (Berlyne, 1971; Appleton, 1975; Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989; Falk and Balling, 2010)....

...Kaplan and Kaplan (1989) presented the influential theory that people prefer landscapes which afford spatial information relatively easily, and which seem as though they would more readily reward physical exploration with further spatial information....

...Among the most prevalent theories, the ‘prospect-refuge’ model is rooted in evolutionary theory, though presented by British geographer Appleton (1975); the essential idea is that people prefer landscapes which afford open vantages for seeing prey and threats, and which afford scattered trees for…...
