Abstract

See full text

A three-dimensional map is provided by preserving its scale. The three-dimensional map is drawn based on prepared landscape feature data which three-dimensionally draws roads, buildings, and other landscape features. The landscape feature data is generated by a parallel projection method which projects an actual landscape feature (CST2) upon a projection plane (PL2) with parallel lines along the projection direction (PRJ), rather than a perspective projection. The landscape feature data is provided by either two-dimensional raster data or polygonal data that draws a parallel projected projection map. It is possible to draw the three-dimensional map by only drawing the prepared landscape feature data, without rendering or other load-intensive processing. Unlike the perspective projection, the parallel projection preserves the positional relationships among buildings and the scale of shapes, so as to provide a three-dimensional map in which the scale is preserved.
