초록 ▼

A parametric height-field ray-tracing process facilitates the construction of a perspective view display for terrain visualization by employing a map providing data in the form of a height field and wherein, prior to initiation of a ray tracing program, the set of voxels of the height field is transformed into a set of cones of empty space opening upwardly wherein the location of the vertex of each cone is near the height of the corresponding voxel. Each cone opens to a maximum cone angle which avoids intersection between the surface of the cone and vertical perturbations of the terrain such as buildings or hills. Ray tracing is conducted by calculating intercepts of a ray with surfaces of a succession of cones wherein the next cone of the succession is obtained by selecting the cone having a vertex beneath the location of the previous intersection. This procedure reduces greatly the number of computations required for a ray-tracing program.

대표청구항 ▼

A process of generating a perspective view of a subject from a three-dimensional height field representation of a surface of the subject, the height field representation being composed of a set of columnar cells extending from a horizontal base plane upward to the subject surface, the process comprising the steps of: selecting a viewing location above the subject; transforming said height field by placing upon respective ones of said columnar cells vertices of respective ones of a plurality of cones wherein, for each of said columnar cells, the horizontal and the vertical coordinates of the corresponding cone vertex are near the horizontal and vertical coordinates of an intersection of the columnar cell with the subject surface, said transforming step further comprising a step of opening each cone of said plurality of cones in an upward direction to a maximum cone angle which avoids intersection of the surface of the cone with the surface of the subject; performing a ray tracing procedure with each of numerous rays from said viewing location to said subject wherein each of said rays corresponds to one pixel of the perspective view, said ray tracing procedure comprising, for each of said rays, steps of: selecting on the ray a ray-trace start point; initially tracing the ray from said start point to a first intercept with the conical surface of a first cone of said plurality of cones, said first cone extending from a vertex located on the subject surface beneath said start point; further tracing the ray from the first intercept to a second intercept with the conical surface of a second cone of said plurality of cones, said second cone extending from a vertex located on the subject surface beneath said first intercept; and continuing with the tracing of the ray through further intercepts with conical surfaces of successive cones of said plurality of cones wherein the Nth intercept occurs with the conical surface of the Nth cone, and the vertex of the Nth cone is located on the subject surface beneath the (N-1)th intercept, the tracing of the ray continuing until the ray intercepts with a columnar cell of said set of columnar cells of said height field representation of the subject surface.
