This paper describes a robust, modular, complete GPU architecture—the Tile-Load-Map
(TLM)—designed for the real-time visualization of wide textured terrains created with …

We use the complex logarithm as a transformation for the visualization and navigation of
highly complex satellite and aerial imagery. The resulting depictions show details and …

This bachelor thesis describes design and implementation of a new threedimensional virtual
globe that works in the web browsers without the need to install any plug-in, addon, or …

Heightfields have proved to be useful for rendering terrains or polygonal surfaces with
finestructured details. While GPU-based ray casting has become popular for the latter …

In this paper we introduce a novel approach to interactively generate a virtual environment
(VE) as reconstruction of the real world by using a swarm of autonomously flying miniature …

This paper describes a GPU framework for the real-time visualization of natural textured
terrains, as well as the steps that are needed to populate them on-the-fly with tens of …

Previous work on large image data sets has evolved techniques for handling
representations of these data that cache textures of arbitrary, but fixed, size in a limited …

Mapping and navigation applications on mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets are
increasingly popular. Modern maps are often rendered directly from vector data. Since the …

Rendering a large number of 2D textures in real-time requires reducing the overhead of a
large number of draw calls on the CPU caused by binding different textures when drawing …
