Abstract

Human perception is far superior then vision analysis by computer. The visual objects like distant planet surface (terrain) are not accessible to observer. This could be presented to human analyst in most natural representation like virtual 3D anaglyph for browsing and visual analysis. The paper represents development of a stereoscopic 3D viewer application for planetary surface. For 3D stereo visualization of virtual 3D geo-based data model, Anaglyph Method is most cost-effective as compared to other method like paired epipolar images, Multi-view display, integral imaging display. 3D anaglyph scene generated using Digital Elevation Map (DEM) and satellite imagery data sets for this study. The objective is to use the planetary optical remote sensing data which is available in the public domain database to create an application to study the formation of specific planet surface. Implementation for 3D animated anaglyph DirectX library is used. 3D Terrain generation and rendering is vastly used in computer games, but here we use 3D terrain generation for scientific use like, studies of relative and absolute surface (age), Analysis of Planetary Surface and its formation, Analysis of specific crater for scientific purpose, for safe landing site identification, Mineralogical mapping of planet, Ejecta mapping.
