ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for three-dimensionally visualizing two-dimensional flyover data in a three-dimensional graphics environment includes an overlapped region separation unit, a triangulation unit, a height coordinate addition unit, and a visualization unit. The division lines are selectively applied to a polygon to separate overlapped regions from the polygon, an ear cutting algorithm is applied to triangulate the polygon, and various different visualization processes are performed on different portions of the flyover data.
