Abstract
The recent advances in computer graphics rendering techniques coupled with the availability of digital terrain model information have opened up new possibilities in viewing and analysing spatial information within a GIS environment. Terrain and landscape visualisation techniques ranging from simple wire-frame models through to photorealistic rendering approaches such as ray tracing and radiosity are reviewed. The techniques are then placed within the context of a variety of GIS applications including: spatial analysis, urban planning, architectural design, cartography, highway and traffic engineering, and environmental impact assessment.
