topography missions feature high resolution. On the other hand, bathymetric models of a
different resolution from different sensors are available as well, beginning from very high
resolution MBS records and low resolution records coming from regular scattered
measurements. Approximating and eventually visualizing the high volume scattered 3D raster
data of different resolutions results in some difficulties related to the extent of computer
processing power. The paper presents some advantages of using multiresolution splines
combined with the Hilbert curve approach in the context. The proposed approach consists of
two stages: firstly, data pertaining to different resolutions are interpolated using the spline
technique and finally the knots and control points are saved using the Hilbert curve. Such an
approach particularly facilitates high volume spatial data for the level of details
(LoD)visualization technique.
