This paper presents a fast method to construct the simplified terrain model with the multi-resolution. In this method, we adopt the normal quad-tree hierarchy to subdivide the original terrain surface into the multiresolution levels. For the sake of implementing the compressive storage and the efficient index for the elevation data, a connotative hierarchy is proposed and its corresponding index strategies are deduced. On the basis of the connotative hierarchy, we focus on resolving the crack problem of the simplified model. We firstly create the space filling curve during the simplification process to accelerate the search for the potential cracks. Afterwards, the different approaches are utilized to process the cracks in terms of the dissimilar terrain features. For this reason, we put forward an evaluation function that can self-adaptively identify the terrain feature according to the normal vector angle of the adjacent nodes in the connotative hierarchy. Consequently, there are not redundant triangles in our seamless multi-resolution terrain model. The proposed approaches are experimented on the real data and the results show that our method is relatively efficient and robust. Besides, the seamless simplified model has less number of triangles than the other common algorithm.
