چکیده
Painters and cartographers have developed artistic landscape rendering techniques for centuries. Such renderings can visualize complex three-dimensional landscapes in a pleasing and understandable way. In this work we examine a particular type of artistic depiction, panorama maps, in terms of function and style, and we develop methods to automatically generate panorama map reminiscent renderings from GIS data. In particular, we develop image-based procedural surface textures for mountainous terrain. Our methods use the structural information present in the terrain and are developed with perceptual metrics and artistic considerations in mind.

متن کاملStructure-aware Stylization of Mountainous Terrains
We present a method for the stylization of mountainous terrains that allows creating abstract representations in different rendering styles. Our method consists of two major components: structure-aware terrain filtering and streamline-based hatching. For a given input terrain we compute different Levels-of-Detail (LoD) according to a crest line oriented importance measure and then filter each L...
متن کاملConvective Boundary Layer Heights Over Mountainous Terrain—A Review of Concepts
Mountainous terrain exerts an important influence on the Earth’s atmosphere and affects atmospheric transport and mixing at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The vertical scale of this transport and mixing is determined by the height of the atmospheric boundary layer, which is therefore an important parameter in air pollution studies, weather forecasting, climate modeling, and many o...
متن کاملQEM-Filtering: A New Technique for Feature-Sensitive Terrain Mesh Simplification
Traditionally, terrain simplification is time consuming and generates multi-resolution models, from which irregular or semi-regular triangulations are extracted to render a terrain at a suitable level of detail. Recent terrain simplification techniques use GPU-friendly regular grids and apply the filtering and sub-sampling paradigm to generate multiple resolutions. However, such approximations ...
متن کاملAssessment of terrain elevation derived from satellite laser altimetry over mountainous forest areas using airborne lidar data
Gaussian decomposition has been used to extract terrain elevation from waveforms of the satellite lidar GLAS (Geoscience Laser Altimeter System), on board ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite). The common assumption is that one of the extracted Gaussian peaks, especially the lowest one, corresponds to the ground. However, Gaussian decomposition is usually complicated due to the broa...
