Non-Photorealistic 3D Geovisualization

Non-photorealistic computer graphics offers a large potential for developing specialized visualization techniques in multimedia cartography such as for illustrative, artistic, and informal information display. Most importantly, non-photorealism provides excellent means for visual abstraction as a primary technique to effectively communicate complex spatial information and not only allows us to implement traditional cartographic visualization techniques as part of interactive visualization applications, but also offers an excellent foundation for developing new cartographic concepts for visualizing geoinformation such as illustrative city models and landscape models.
