Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved strategy of terrain dispatching and pre-reading during the process of spatial multi-resolution terrain rendering. The improved strategy is adopted to render the 3Dterrain. The fundamental step of the procedure is the terrain data processing including three parts of terrain data source, terrain data block and terrain texture generation. The ultimate goal is to render the terrain successfully via the proposed strategy of terrain dispatching and pre-reading. The displayed rendering effect demonstrates that the improved strategy is feasible and achievable.
