Dual-cache Structure Based Large Scale Texture Mapping for Real-time Terrain Rendering

摘要

There are two key problems in efficient large scale texture mapping for terrain rendering?? efficient data organization and real time data updating in memory. In order to solve these problems, in this paper we propose a quadtree based indexing method to organize multi-resolution images and to fast retrieve data from disk; For memory updating, we present a real time dual-cache structure based updating method, which effectively reduces the frequency of data refresh. We also innovatively use a wavelet image enhancement algorithm to enhance original terrain texture, which obtain richer edge information and give us a more realistic effect in terrain rendering. Through the analysis of storage efficiency and rendering speed of our experiment, this dual-cache structure based method solves rendering speed and memory limit problems perfectly.
