Abstract
Terrain visualization requires a lot of processing time and storage since terrain information contains huge amount of height-field data. One of the optimization methods is quadtree-based continuous level-of-detail (CLOD). Although it can produce moderate quality of images in real-time, flickering may occur in consecutive frames due to inadequate feedback. We propose a method to maintain constant frame rate without flickering by controlling the number of triangles in view frustum. It avoids abrupt change of the amount of triangles using temporal coherence.
