Description
Summary:Cloud representation is one of the important components in the atmospheric cloud visualization system. Lack of review papers on the cloud representation methods available in the area of computer graphics has directed towards the difficulty for researchers to understand the appropriate solutions. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the atmospheric cloud representation methods that have been proposed in the computer graphics domain, involving the classical and the current state-of-the-art approaches. The reviewing process was conducted by searching, selecting, and analyzing the prominent articles collected from online digital libraries and search engines. We highlighted the taxonomic classification of the existing cloud representation methods in solving the atmospheric cloud-related problems. Finally, research issues and directions in the area of cloud representations and visualization have been discussed. This review would be significantly beneficial for researchers to clearly understand the general picture of the existing methods and thus helping them in choosing the best-suited approach for their future research and development.
