A raster image (two dimensional) used for elevation modeling. Each pixel stores values, such as surface elevation data, for display in 3D computer graphics. Heightmaps are widely used in terrain rendering software and modern video games, and are ideal for storing digital terrain elevations; compared to a regular polygonal mesh, they require substantially less memory for a given level of detail.
