Abstract
This paper presents an efficient technique for real-time non-photorealistic three-dimensional terrain visualisation from the digital elevation model. The method is primarily based on an improved version of the Real-time Optimally Adapting Mesh (ROAM) that boosts performance by improving the rendering speed, enhancing the visual continuity and reducing large frame rate variances. We outline how to achieve better detail and continuity and yet maintain the high efficiency and speed of the visualisation. We also integrate a Geo-morphing technique to eliminate visual discontinuity due to the refinement of ROAM. Based on the proposed methodology, the Geo-morph terrain visualisation system was created. Experimental results confirm striking improvement in the rendering efficiency and visual continuity, while preserving important features of the terrain (such as sharp peaks and valleys).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
