Foil 4 Viewer for Terrain Data

From Open Inventor Viewer for Terrain Data Rome Lab Quarterly Review for CIV -- June 28 96. by Krzysztof Walczak *
Solution:
Instead of using general purpose VRML browsers, we build a specialized browser for terrain data
Open Inventor library is used for three-dimensional visualization
The browser is extensible and allows introduction of additional functionality
The syntax of VRML may be extended to achieve certain desirable results:
  • selection of data by user
  • selection of the form of data presentation
  • binary coding of terrain data (conversion to VRML on client side)
