Abstract: TIN(Triangulated Irregular Network) has better performance on shaping terrain. The generation algorithm has been great concerned. This paper has discussed the data structure design of triangulation, and designed and implemented the algorithm based on Bowyer-Watson idea that is an incremental insertion algorithm. This paper analyzes why the algorithms may arise the phenomenon of cross during the experiment, and gives the improved idea. The improved algorithm has been used to visualize the terrain modeling, to obtain good results, for the research triangulation has some value.
