In this work, we explore a set of criteria based on utility, perception, and aesthetics applicable to natural outdoor scenes. We also propose a method that uses the criteria to produce renderings of terrain scenes automatically.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): Computer Graphics [I.3.3]: Picture/Image Generation - Viewing algorithms]
