Abstract

Terrain texture plays a great role on visualization in many 3D applications. Sometimes terrain texture is difficult to obtain in a desired area, thus a new approach to terrain texture generation based on satellite images is proposed to resolve this problem. We prepare a silhouette map and a satellite image for the desired terrain texture and colorize the two pictures with the same pattern according to the terrain features. Then a method of texture synthesis is adopted to generate the final terrain texture.
