VISUALISATION OF COMPLEX 3D CITY MODELS ON MOBILE WEBBROWSERS USING CLOUD-BASED IMAGE PROVISIONING

VISUALISATION OF COMPLEX 3D CITY MODELS ON MOBILE WEBBROWSERS USING CLOUD-BASED IMAGE PROVISIONING

Rendering large city models with high polygon count and a vast amount of textures at interactive frame rates is a rather difficult to impossible task as it highly depends on the client hardware, which is often insufficient, even if out-of-core rendering techniques and level of detail approaches are...
