Various terrain modelling methods have been proposed for the past decades, providing
efficient and often interactive authoring tools. However, they seldom include any notion of …

Heightmap generation is currently a tedious topic with the majority of generation using Perlin
noise which forms a reliable, but sometimes repetitive output. In this paper, a method of …

Synthetic terrain realism is critical in VR applications based on computer graphics (eg,
games, simulations). Although fast procedural algorithms for automated terrain generation …

This article describes a set of proposed measures for characterizing areas within a virtual
terrain in terms of their attributes and their relationships with other areas for incorporating …

Sight is perhaps the most important sense of the human species. But while it allows us to
gain a near-instant understanding of our surrounding, it has a fundamental limitation: An …

The manual modeling of virtual cities or suburban regions is an extremely time-consuming
task, which expects expert knowledge of different fields. Existing modeling tool-sets have a …
