Title: Practical Terrain Rendering

Abstract: A common gripe about the visual quality of the urban models being developed at the ICVDM is the ground plane (i.e. terrain). Due to the size of the dataset and the naive approach being used quality was being forfeit to achieve reasonable performance. Recent work has improved the visual quality of the terrain within the confines of the available data. I will be discussing what steps were taking to achieve this.
