SunPathGen

SunPathGen is an R-based interactive web application based on the R Shiny package (http://shiny.rstudio.com/) that provides advanced visualization and statistical computing. It allows calculation of sun paths and light transmission on hemispherical images under a user-friendly environment. The App does not require any previous knowledge on R programming, just an updated version of most current browsers (e.g. Mozilla, IE). The web application has three main features:

  • Sun path calculator: It allows simulating sun paths and astronomical related parameters depending on the user inputs (day of year and latitude/ longitude coordinates)
  • Light transmission calculator: It allows calculating the transmission of diffuse and direct light based on user inputs (binarised hemispherical images, day of year and latitude). A csv file containing the obtained results can be downloaded.
  • Gallery: A video file of the direct light transmission over one year in our greenhouse together with a gallery of the PhenoArch platform is available.

The application is available at the following link:
