This is a firm fixed-price, Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Digitalfish, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business. The contract, valued at $122,243.00, is for the development of a prototype mapping system using subdivision surfaces (subdivs) as a representation for terrain data with varied spatial resolution and 3D features. The research aims to extend Digitalfish's prior work in applying subdivs to planetary terrain mapping, focusing on improvements to subdiv algorithms, techniques, and theory, as well as new methods for merging terrain data from multiple sources. The expected benefits include higher-fidelity terrain visualization, the ability to visualize 3D features missed in traditional digital elevation maps, and greater algorithmic efficiency for non-visualization scientific computation.
