Terrains are a crucial component of three‐dimensional scenes and are present in many
Computer Graphics applications. Terrain modeling methods focus on capturing landforms in …

Despite more than thirty years of research in terrain modeling, authoring virtual terrains by
using contemporary techniques remains a demanding task. One reason for this difficulty is …

Paleogeographic maps play a central integrating role across all the disciplines of the Earth
System Sciences. They increasingly serve as boundary conditions for climate, earth, and life …

We introduce the first solution for simulating the formation and evolution of glaciers, together
with their attendant erosive effects, for periods covering the combination of glacial and inter …

We introduce a novel framework for interactive landscape authoring that supports bi-
directional feedback between erosion and vegetation simulation. Vegetation and terrain …

This paper introduces a method to generate a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of an
imaginary city from a single street-view image to represent the appearance of the city in a …

Erosion simulation is a common approach used for generating and authoring mountainous
terrains. While water is considered the primary erosion factor, its simulation fails to capture …

In this paper, we present a simple and efficient method to represent terrains as elevation
functions built from linear combinations of landform features (atoms). These features can be …

Most mountain ranges are formed by the compression and folding of colliding tectonic
plates. Subduction of one plate causes large-scale asymmetry while their layered …

Assisting the authoring of virtual terrains is a perennial challenge in the creation of
convincing synthetic landscapes. Particularly, there is a need for augmenting artist …
