Viewer for Terrain Data

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)
