Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system for visualization of 3D objects and/or 3D terrain includes a processor, a display in communication with the processor, and a range metering device in communication with the processor. The system visualizes the 3D objects and/or the 3D terrain based upon their respective distances from the mobile device and based upon a respective parameter measuring the detail of the 3D object and/or the 3D terrain.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for visualization of three-dimensional (3D) objects and 3D terrains, the method comprising: providing a device having a display and a storage device, the storage device having a plurality of stored levels of detail, the levels of detail representing a detail level of the 3D objects and 3D terrains; and outputting a first 3D terrain of the 3D terrains and a first object of the 3D objects on the display, wherein the outputting comprises: computing, for each…
