Simplifying terrain models and measuring terrain model accuracy

We describe a set of TIN simplification methods that enable the use of the triangulation hierarchy introduced by Kirkpatrick [Kir83] and modified by de Berg and Dobrindt [dBD95a, dBD95b]. This triangulation hierarchy can be used to form a terrain model combining areas with varying levels of detai...
