The creation of a digital representation of the Earth and its associated data is a complex and
difficult task. The incredible size of geospatial data and differences between data sets pose …

Due to the fundamental weaknesses of level-of-detail (LOD) control and rich details in the
Geometry Clipmaps, we propose a multi-resolution terrain rendering algorithm that utilizes …

Virtual globes render planetary‐scale terrain and have limited support for 3D applications
development. Game engines provide development environment for interactive 3D …

A wide variety of projections from a planet surface to a two-dimensional map are known, and
the correct choice of a particular projection for a given application area depends on many …

Planetary-scale terrain requires streaming of world-scale high-resolution data sets in real
time. High-performance streaming of world-scale data sets to achieve high mobility in terms …

The rapid growth in Earth's global geospatial data necessitates an efficient system for
organizing the data, facilitating data fusion from diverse sources, and promoting …

This paper presents performance improvements for Ellipsoid Clipmaps, an out-of-core
planet-sized geodetically accurate terrain rendering algorithm. The performance …

Due to heavy rendering load and unstable frame rate when rendering large terrain, this
paper proposes a geometry clipmaps based algorithm. Triangle meshes are generated by …

The enormous volumes of geospatial data and the need to process and distribute them cry
out for a unified framework that enables their efficient storage, analysis, and a high degree of …

Earth observation (EO) data have seen a constant surge in volume, necessitating efficient
storage, retrieval, and sharing mechanisms. Cartographic projections play a vital role in …
