Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is directed to an automated system that includes a hi- resolution three-dimensional imaging apparatus that is electronically couple d whith a computer (Fig. 1). The system incorporates algorithms for converting the contours found in natural terrain (Fig. 7) into a series of adjacent and parallel coloring-agent imaging paths or swaths (Fig. 10) and applying color indicia onto the model surface. The swaths are defined in simplified 2-axis surface contour-following printer-head movements by the system's CPU, printe r driver software and circuitry and seamlessly rendered next to one another.
