Out-of-Core Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) Visualization

Abstract

This interim technical report discusses a project under the Advanced Visualization and Interactive Displays (AVID) in-house program to develop techniques to load and display voluminous high-resolution terrain data with sufficient visual quality and interactivity. The AVID program objectives are to develop, evaluate, and exploit new concepts in information visualization, display technology, and human-computer interaction (HCI) that provide airmen with a tailored information environment. The result of this project was the successful design and implementation of a data structure for storing, manipulating, and processing terrain data vertex information, and an algorithm that intelligently processes the information contained within the data structure.
