Image processing methods used to simulate flight over remotely sensed data
It has been demonstrated that image processing techniques can provide an effective means of simulating flight over remotely sensed data (Hussey et al. 1986). This paper explains the methods used to simulate and animate three-dimensional surfaces from two-dimensional imagery. The preprocessing techniques used on the input data, the selection of the animation sequence, the generation of the animation frames, and the recording of the animation is covered. The software used for all steps is discussed.
