abstract = "Multiresolution terrain models allow the extraction of the surface
at different levels of details. Real terrain data is large enough
to prevent from real-time walk-through at a reasonable level of
detail. Moreover, a coarse view of a terrain may not attend some
application requirements. Therefore extracting the surface at
variable resolution may offer impressive good-looking views if,
for instance, regions closer to the observer are shown at a higher
resolution then regions farther away. Besides, variable resolution
extraction dramatically reduces the number of polygons to be
rendered allowing real-time walk-through of a large terrain model.
This paper proposes a multiresolution terrain model, based on
Delaunay triangulation, that takes into account the whole domain
during triangulation without replicating unchanged triangles
through different levels of detail. The proposed model is the
first that matches a whole domain Delaunay triangulation with
accuracy of extraction and low storage cost algorithms.",
