Terrains are a crucial component of three‐dimensional scenes and are present in many
Computer Graphics applications. Terrain modeling methods focus on capturing landforms in …

Procedural modelling deals with (semi‐) automatic content generation by means of a
program or procedure. Among other advantages, its data compression and the potential to …

The field of smooth vector graphics explores the representation, creation, rasterization, and
automatic generation of light-weight image representations, frequently used for scalable …

Despite more than thirty years of research in terrain modeling, authoring virtual terrains by
using contemporary techniques remains a demanding task. One reason for this difficulty is …

We present a framework that allows quick and intuitive modeling of terrains using concepts
inspired by hydrology. The terrain is generated from a simple initial sketch, and its …

At large scale, landscapes result from the combination of two major processes: tectonics
which generate the main relief through crust uplift, and weather which accounts for erosion …

Recent work defines vector graphics using diffusion between colored curves. We explore
higher-order fairing to enable more natural interpolation and greater expressive control …

The challenge in terrain synthesis for virtual environments is to provide a combination of
precise user control over landscape form, with interactive response and visually realistic …

In this paper, we present a simple and efficient method to represent terrains as elevation
functions built from linear combinations of landform features (atoms). These features can be …

We introduce a compact hierarchical procedural model that combines feature‐based
primitives to describe complex terrains with varying level of detail. Our model is inspired by …
