It is hardly possible to visualize these data at full detail in a single image. Therefore, this thesis devises a scalable visualization approach that focuses on relevant information to be emphasized, while less-relevant information can be attenuated. In this context, a noval concept of visualizing spatial data in 3D terrain and different soft- and hardware solutions are proposed.
