Generation of Realistic Terrain Based on LOD Simplification and Fractal
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on the study of Digital Elevation Simplification Model and fractal theory, this paper put forward a new method to simulate complex terrain. That use simplified DEM data to construct terrain frame based on the quad tree at first, and then use fractal to generate the details of every node of the tree. In the process of construction, the LOD theory is used to simplify the terrain and get its typical data. According to the change of view position and direction, the paper gives a new way to judge the visibility of the surface patch. Experimental results show that this algorithm is simple, efficient and supports the real time dynamic simulation of terrain model.

A view-dependent topological LOD model for terrain morphology
Morphology consists of feature points (pits, peaks and passes), feature lines (like ridges and ravines), or regions with a uniform gradient field. In general, terrain morphological model based on Morse Complex has been applied in several applications, such as terrain analysis and understanding, knowledge-based reasoning, and hydrological simulation [Vitali et al. 2012]. A multi-resolution repre...
متن کاملPolynomial method for Procedural Terrain Generation
A systematic fractal brownian motion approach is proposed for generating coherent noise, aiming at procedurally generating realistic terrain and textures. Two models are tested and compared to Perlin noise method for two-dimensional height map generation. A fractal analysis is performed in order to compare fractal behaviour of generated data to real terrain coastlines from the point of view of ...
متن کاملHydraulic Erosion: A Survey
Terrain morphology has been on the radar of Computer Graphics for more than twenty years and various techniques for its modeling have been presented. These approaches range from fractal and multifractal surface generation to physically-based models of erosion and weathering. From all the weathering phenomena that can be observed in Nature, the hydraulic erosion has the major visual importance. ...

متن کاملThe Uplift Model Terrain Generator
Terrain generation finds many applications such as in CGI movies, animations and video games. This paper describes a new and simple-to-implement terrain generator called the Uplift Model. It is based on the theory of crustal deformations by uplifts in Geology. When a number of uplifts are made on the Earth’s surface, the final net effect is an average of the influence of each uplift at each poi...
