Patch-based Terrain Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an intuitive and controllable patch-based technique for terrain synthesis. Our method is based on classical patch-based texture synthesis approaches. It generates a new terrain model by combining patches extracted from a given set of exemplars, providing a control performed by a low frequency guide, a categorization of exemplars, and a map for distributing these categories. Furthermore, we propose criteria to validate the input, some structures to accelerate the patch choice, and a metric based on the process, these structures, and some specificities of the data.

Enhanced Texture-Based Terrain Synthesis on Graphics Hardware
Curvilinear features extracted from a 2D user-sketched feature map have been used successfully to constraint a patch-based texture synthesis of real landscapes. This map-based user interface does not give fine control over the height profile of the generated terrain. We propose a new texture-based terrain synthesis framework controllable by a terrain sketching interface. We enhance the realism ...
متن کاملDistributed Texture-based Terrain Synthesis
Terrain synthesis is an important field of Computer Graphics that deals with the generation of 3D landscape models for use in virtual environments. The field has evolved to a stage where large and even infinite landscapes can be generated in realtime. However, user control of the generation process is still minimal, as well as the creation of virtual landscapes that mimic real terrain. This the...
متن کاملTerrain synthesis using curve networks
We present a procedural technique for the controllable synthesis of detailed terrains. We generate terrains based on a sparse curve network representation, where interconnected curves are distributed in the plane and can be procedurally assigned height. We employ path planning to procedurally generate irregular curves around userdesignated peaks. Optionally, the user can specify base signals fo...
متن کاملGeneration of Realistic Terrain Based on LOD Simplification and Fractal
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...
متن کاملA Hybrid Approach for High Quality Real-time Terrain Rendering and Optimized A-priori Error Estimation
This paper describes a hybrid approach for high-quality real-time terrain rendering. The contributions of the work are twofold. First, a novel parallel preprocessing scheme for necessary a-priori error-bounds calculation based on the widely applied longest-edge-bisection approach is proposed, which exploits current multi-core CPU architectures. Compared to the common recursive and thus computat...
