“…For example, Blinn [1990] has explained tiling and paging strategies that he has used to perform efficient texture mapping of astronomical photographs of the planets onto spherical models. Gelberg et al [1988] and Hughes [1991] each used combined tiled and multiresolution (pyramid) approaches to generate TASC's Calgary video and Apple's Mars Navigator videos, respectively. Each started with a terrain elevation grid that was registered to a very large rectified image (36 million pixels in Gelberg's example and 145 million pixels in Hughes' example).…”

“…It was shown as part of the 1991 NOVA program, "Taller Than Everest?" Finally, Volotta Interactive Video has put together a system, called the Mars Navigator [Volotta 1991], to present low altitude, computer-generated fly-bys of the surface of Mars prepared by Apple Computer [Hughes 1991] from Viking orbiter imagery. This system is on display at the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose.…”

Texture mapping has become a popular tool in the computer graphics industry in the last few years because it is an easy way to achieve a high degree of realism in computer-generated imagery with very little effort. Over the last decade, texturemapping techniques have advanced to the point where it is possible to generate real-time perspective simulations of real-world areas by texture mapping every object surface with texture from photographic images of these real-world areas. The techniques for generating such perspective transformations are variations on traditional texture mapping that in some circles have become known as the Image Perspective Transformation or IPT technology. This article first presents a background survey of traditional texture mapping. It then continues with a description of the texture-mapping variations that achieve these perspective transformations of photographic images of real-world scenes. The style of the presentation is that of a resource survey rather than an in-depth analysis.
