We use DEM to represent the terrain in GIS. The more data are avail able , the better representations of a terrain can be built . But not all tasks in the framework of a given application necessarily require the same accuracy , and even a single task may need different levels of accuracy in different areas of the domain . Multiresolution models , such as LOD , offer the possibility of representing and analyzing a terrain at a range of different lev els of detail . In this paper , some key issues in multiresolution DEM model are studied. Three main models are focused on Hierarchical TIN ( HTIN) , multiresolution terrain model based Delaunay and Hierarchical Dynamic Simplification . The ad
