Title: Terrain Occlusion Culling with Horizons
       

Abstract:

This talk describes an occlusion culling technique for outdoor scenes
based on heightfield terrain geometry.  Unlike other terrain occlusion
culling techniques, it does not require expensive offline preprocessing,
so it is able to adapt on the fly to dynamically changing terrain.  Best
of all, it is conceptually simple and easy to implement.
