Abstract
When creating digital topographic 3D maps, mapmakers encounter a number of challenges related to occlusion, foreshortening and viewpoint selection. In this paper, we present methods to geometrically deform 2.5D digital elevation models to mitigate such problems. Our methods are inspired by manual techniques of panorama painters. Our algorithms allow the cartographer to interactively apply global progressive and local deformation to a digital terrain model. To demonstrate our methods, we present a series of digital 3D maps that imitate a hand-painted panorama.
