Abstract

This paper first presents how the 2-Dimension (2-D) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) based display format can be enhanced to display 2-D scene in 3-Dimension (3-D) perspective view while utilizing the standard 2-D SVG graphics library. This is then further extended to include 3-D objects that, when added on top of the 2-D scene, enable a full 3-D projection of the scene. The 3-D objects are encoded based on SVG derived syntax in order to maintain compatibility with the 2-D SVG graphics library for the final perspective display on 2-D screen. With the compact vector format used in SVG, this approach enables high quality dynamic 3-D graphics display for applications like digital map to be generated on embedded platforms where memory resources is of severe constraint.
