Abstract
A hierarchical model for approximating 2-1/2 dimensional surfaces is described. This model, called Delaunay pyramid, is a method for compression of spatial data and representation of a surface at successively finer levels of detail. The Delaunay pyramid is based on a sequence of Delaunay triangulations of suitably defined subsets of the set of data points.
