Abstract
A system may provide for searching terrain data of real-world locations based on input representing a terrain for a game world. The system may receive terrain inquiry data including height data for terrain of a game world, generate an inquiry descriptor based on the terrain inquiry data at least in part by applying a plurality of filters to the terrain inquiry data, the inquiry descriptor including a plurality of inquiry descriptor values corresponding to the plurality of filter and determine, based on the inquiry descriptor and respective sample descriptors of one or more terrain samples corresponding to terrain of real-world locations, one or more matching terrain samples.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive terrain inquiry data including height data for terrain of a game world;
- generate an inquiry descriptor based on the terrain inquiry data at least in part by applying a plurality of filters to the height data, the inquiry descriptor including a plurality of inquiry descriptor values corresponding to the plurality of filters;
- determine, based on the inquiry descriptor and respective sample descriptors of one or more terrain samples corresponding to terrain of real-world locations, one or more matching terrain samples;
- and
- output sample data of the one or more matching terrain samples.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving terrain inquiry data including height data for terrain of a game world;
- generating an inquiry descriptor based on the terrain inquiry data at least in part by applying a plurality of filters to the height data, the inquiry descriptor including a plurality of inquiry descriptor values corresponding to the plurality of filters;
- determining, based on the inquiry descriptor and respective sample descriptors of one or more terrain samples corresponding to terrain of real-world locations, one or more matching terrain samples;
- and
- outputting sample data of the one or more matching terrain samples.
One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving terrain inquiry data including height data for terrain of a game world;
- generating an inquiry descriptor based on the terrain inquiry data at least in part by applying a plurality of filters to the height data, the inquiry descriptor including a plurality of inquiry descriptor values corresponding to the plurality of filters;
- determining, based on the inquiry descriptor and respective sample descriptors of one or more terrain samples corresponding to terrain of real-world locations, one or more matching terrain samples;
- and outputting sample data of the one or more matching terrain samples.
