Multiresolution Terrain Database Visualization
نویسنده
چکیده
Digital terrain visualization has received increasing research interest in recent years. One main problem focus has been the large size of terrain data, which needs to be stored on secondary storage hence causing a performance slow-down in terrain visualization. This paper surveys secondary storage terrain visualization techniques with a particular focus on spatial database systems supporting terrain visualization using TIN. Problems that need further investigation in this area are discussed and the approach to improve secondarystorage terrain visualization performance is proposed.

Direct Mesh: Visualization for Multiresolution Terrain Database
Multiresolution Triangular Mesh (MTM) models are widely used in terrain visualization to cope with the increasing data size. MTM model, which consists of both original and simplified data, it commonly stored in spatial database system due to its large size. Slow disk access speed makes retrieval performance of such database the bottleneck of many terrain visualization systems. Existing approach...
متن کاملA Digital Terrain Server on the Internet
This paper brings forward a Digital Earth-based DEM server model – TON (Terrain On the INTERNET). TON takes client/server architecture and closely integrates with WWW server. The server side of TON builds multiresolution terrain database in a quadtree structure, which offers an effective method to retrieve terrain data. The client side of TON integrates with WWW browser as a component, which su...
متن کاملMultiresolution BSP Trees Applied to Terrain, Transparency, and General Objects
We present a system for incorporating multiple level of detail (LOD) models of 3D objects within a single hierarchical data structure. This system was designed for a scientific visualization application involving terrain and volume rendering. Our data structure is a modified Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) tree. We describe how our tree construction and traversal routines may be used with a var...
متن کاملGeometric-Textured Bitree: Transmission of a Multiresolution Terrain Across the Internet
Transmission of large terrain databases across the Internet is still worrying. A large terrain database requires a big number of polygons and textures, and that represents a problem with current bandwidth and resource limitations. Multiresolution models permit progressive transmission, that is the transmission of a simple model followed by successive refinements. In this work we present a new m...
