Compression and rendering of high resolution planetary scale digital elevation models

Enrico Gobbetti and Fabio Marton

November 2005

Abstract

In this contribution, we illustrate a technique for incorporating aggressive compression methods in the BDAM adaptive resolution framework for terrain rendering. The new structure provides a number of benefits: simplicity of data structures, overall geometric continuity, efficient compression and fast construction times, real-time decompression and rendering with configurable variable level-of-detail extraction, and runtime detail synthesis.
