Terrain Surface Approximation

Terrain Surface Approximation is a computational modeling method that, as a member of the class of surface representation techniques, specifically employs discretized geometric primitives within a Triangulated Irregular Network to approximate the continuous elevation field of a terrain surface based on irregularly distributed sample points.
