Objective
Investigate a proof of concept implementation in HighMap inspired by Arches-Team/Contours.
The goal is to determine whether sparse user-defined contour lines can be used to reconstruct a plausible continuous heightmap. The reference approach uses iso-contours together with a probability map to synthesize terrain.
PoC
Implement a minimal workflow:
- Input one or several contour curves with known elevations.
- Convert the contours into a spatial constraint/probability representation.
- Interpolate or synthesize a heightmap satisfying the contour constraints.
- Evaluate the resulting terrain visually and against the input contours.
Initially, focus on the core reconstruction/synthesis step and keep the API experimental.
Expected result
Given sparse contours with associated elevations, generate a plausible terrain surface passing through the specified contours.
The PoC should help determine whether the approach is suitable for integration into HighMap before investing in a complete implementation of the method.
