| Guidelines |
| Student should gather and read relevant sources about terrain representations, editing and programming of modern GPUs. Main goal of the thesis is to design a terrain-editing architecture based on programmable GPU and able to use as many different techniques as possible. General extensibility is an important attribute of the suggested data model.
The system should be implemented in experimental application to demonstrate correctness of the design. Several modules or techniques should be implemented and published together with their supposed methodological usage (typical terrain-editor workflow). Software should be well documented (both user and internal documentation). Emphasis should be placed on thorough description of used algorithms (including mathematics) and data structures. |
