Visualização Interativa Tridimensional de Modelos de Terreno com Textura

Abstract:

Interactive tridimensional visualization of terrain models can be found in Geographical Infor-mation System and computer games. Both applications share the need for high performance algorithms that are tailored to produce textured images in interactive time, say at least 5 frames per second. Computer games are now developed to a point where this performance can be achieved in low-end home computers. The literature of computer games, however, is filled with "tricks" and pays very little attention to the un-derlying geometric model and image synthesis algorithm. This paper describes an on going research on in-teractive algorithms for landscape viewing. A preliminary evaluation of one popular algorithm is presented here.
