  • Method for rendering realistic terrain simulation
    Patent number: 6700573
    Abstract: A technique for the realistic simulation of visual scenes uses voxels generated from positional and elevational data combined with a stored color map to generate vertex and triangle data that is used by an accelerator card to render a visual scene on a display device. In this manner, the invention provides rendering efficiency and speed for highly detailed visual scenes while preventing overdraw.
