View-Dependent Multiresolution Representation for a Height Map

Yong H. Chung, Won K. Hwam, Dae S. Chang, Jung-Ju Choi, and Sang C. Park

Abstract—Terrain visualization is a difficult problem for applications requiring accurate image of large datasets at high frame rates. We propose new view-dependent-multi-resolution representation method of large-scale terrain, which inherits the accuracy of 3D-methods as well as the memory efficient of2.5D-methods. The proposed approach maintains a full decimation procedure of a height map for a maximum tolerance, and creates End-Start-tree, which is used to represent multi-resolution triangular mesh. For the approximation of a height map, the proposed algorithm employs the QEM (quadric error metrics) method. We demonstrate new visualization algorithm of large-scale terrain.

Index Terms—Terrain, Height map, Digital elevation model,View-dependent LOD, Quadric error metrics, simplification.
