Three-dimensional visualization of geographical terrain data using temporal parallax difference induction

摘要

Vision III Imaging, Inc. (the Company) has developed Parallax~([i]) Image Display~([ii]) (PID~(TM)) software tools to critically align and display aerial images with parallax differences. Terrain features are rendered obvious to the viewer when critically aligned images are presented alternately at 4.3 Hz. The recent inclusion of digital elevation models in geographic data browsers now allows true three-dimensional parallax to be acquired from virtual globe programs like Google Earth. The authors have successfully developed PID methods and code that allow three-dimensional geographical terrain data to be visualized using temporal parallax differences.
