Abstract

Large-area terrain visualization is important to multimedia and military applications. However, such a huge amount of terrain data is not easily able to process on a general personal computer. Thus, how to efficiently process and display a large-area terrain data is the main challenge. In this study, we combine the proposed techniques of multiresolution terrain modeling, view-dependent rendering, and dynamic loading with the digital terrain models and satellite images to dynamically browse the large terrain models and scene environment on a general personal computer
