Viewer for Terrain Data

Advantages

• Efficient compression may be used to reduce the size of binary data volume (k x 100 times less data describing terrain needs to be sent)
• User may control desired level of details in generated VRML representation
• Extra functionality:
  • visualization controlled by a user
  • simultaneous visualization of various kinds of information (e.g. exchangeable textures representing satellite images, maps, weather information, etc.)
  • client-side VRML generation - no big ASCII files
  • using VRML and/or Inventor file syntax
  • handling of custom VRML extensions
  • interaction with other applications
