Spatial Analysis of Terrain in Virtual Reality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend an existing virtual reality terrain visualization framework to support spatial analysis tasks for geoscientific purposes. We demonstrate both interactive measurement of height profiles as well as volume measurement within polygonal footprints. In this application, virtual reality technology enables superior perception of the placement of these lines with respect to terrain features.

متن کاملDatabase Support for Multi-Resolution Terrain Models
Terrain data of very large scale is widely used in many applications, such as virtual reality, environmental analysis, and GIS. The large size of terrain data makes it very demanding on memory and processing power during visualization and spatial analysis. Multi-resolution techniques have been introduced to address this problem. A Multi-Resolution Terrain Model (MRTM) can provide a large number...
متن کاملVirtual Flythrough over a Voxel-Based Terrain
A voxel-based terrain visualization system is presented with real-time performance on general-purpose graphics multiprocessor workstations. Ray casting of antialiased 3D volume terrain and subvoxel sampling in true 3D space produce high quality images. Based on this rendering algorithm, an interactive flythrough system for mission planning and flight simulation has been developed on an SGI Powe...
