Multi-resolution Out-Of-Core Modeling of Terrain and Geological Data Emanuele Danovaro, Leila De Floriani, Enrico Puppo, and Hanan Samet   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Session 4: Data Structures, Computational Geometry Abstract Multi-resolution is a useful tool for managing the complexity of huge terrain and geological data sets. Since encoding large data sets may easily exceed main memory capabilities, data structures and algorithms capable of efficiently working in external memory are needed. In our work, we aim at developing an out-of-core multi-resolution model dimension-independent, that can be used for both terrains, represented by Triangulated Irregular Networks(TINs), and 3D data, such as geological data, repre ... ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
