| Abstract | 3D terrain visualization of geographic information systems (GIS) data has become an important issue in recent years. This is due to the emergence of new geo-browsers such as Google Earth, widely popular among users. The availability of 3D representation tools has increased the demand for 3D terrain visualization. The aim of this paper is to review the literature related to the 3D terrain visualization of GIS data from the first map produced until the online mapping era. The reviews are divided into four different sections: manual visualization of 3D terrain, automated visualization of 3D terrain, online visualization of 3D terrain, and software for visualizing 3D terrain. Then, the paper compares between the different types of systems developed by various authors based on the capabilities and the limitations of the system. Some of the techniques have their own strengths and limitations which solve the problem in 3D terrain visualization. However, the research on improving 3D terrain visualization is still ongoing. This is due to the popularity of online environments and mobile devices that render 3D terrain. This review paper will help interested users understand the current state of 3D terrain visualization of GIS data in a better way. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
