This thesis presents a terrain rendering approach that continuously adapts the level of detail based on what is currently visible and relevant on the screen. The system combines adaptive level-of-detail selection, smooth transitions between detail levels, and efficient data management for large geospatial datasets. By balancing visual quality and computational cost, the system enables interactive exploration of large terrain regions while remaining suitable for real-time appli- cations. In addition, the system supports the loading and rendering of vector layers on top of the terrain to create more context-aware scenes.
