Orometry-based terrain analysis and synthesis [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2019 Mountainous digital terrains are an important element of many virtual environments and find application in games, film, simulation and training. Unfortunately, while existing synthesis methods produce locally plausible results they often fail to respect global structure.
