ABSTRACT
Transmission of large terrain databases across the Internet
is still worrying. A large terrain database requires a big
number of polygons and textures, and that represents a
problem with current bandwidth and resource limitations.
Multiresolution models permit progressive transmission,
that is the transmission of a simple model followed by
successive refinements.
