Foil 43 VRML Synthesis

From VRML and Use of Databases as backend and Application to GIS ARL Database Tutorial -- February 98. by Krzysztof Walczak
Synthesis of VRML representation can be divided into two separate parts:
  • generation of terrain shape
  • generation of object description
Why terrain shape description is treated in a special way ?
  • very specialized and optimized VRML object
  • constant - user does not edit the terrain data
  • very big in volume - special mechanisms assure efficient storage and fast retrieval
  • high number of specific parameters
