Construction of 3-D Terrain Models from BIG Data Sets

摘要

Report developed under Topic No. A13A-T005, contract W911NF-13-P-0018. The objective of this Phase I project was to investigate the feasibility of scalable, efficient and practical algorithms for analysis-driven construction of high-resolution 3D terrain models from BIG terrain data sets, and to build a prototype software infrastructure for making analysis-prepared terrain models available to data consumers on multiple platforms. Analysis-driven modeling means that the construction of the model is influenced by, and prepared for, the specific analysis that the terrain model will be used for by data consumers.
