Terrain Analysis
Summary
This project brings together cartography and computer graphics to develop new visualisation methods drawing on design expertise of cartography, and algorithmic and mathematical know-how of computer graphics. New digital methods for cartographic terrain visualisation in 2D and 3D will be developed. In the sub-project "Terrain sketching" automatic methods for producing cartographic terrain depictions like shaded relief and rock hachures from raster elevation models are being developed, including the generalization of the elevation data.
