METHOD FOR 3D VISUALIZATION OF SENSOR DATA

A computer-implemented method for visualizing sensor data in a three-dimensional virtual representation of a terrain that has multiple surface layers, the method comprising, in a computing device, receiving terrain data comprising information about the multiple surface layers, receiving at least one point cloud comprising a multitude of data points, each data point comprising three-dimensional coordinates in relation to the terrain and one or more sensor data values, performing a pre-processing procedure and visualizing the sensor data in at least a part of the virtual representation of the terrain, wherein the pre-processing procedure comprises generating a three-dimensional mesh as the virtual representation based on the terrain data, dividing the mesh into a multitude of tiles, each tile having at least three corners, each of the corners being shared with one or more neighbour tiles, calculating a projection direction for each tile corner, and calculating a projection direction for each tile.
