A method including obtaining a first image of a geographical location and a physical object located therein. Pixels in the first image are assigned to corresponding points in a Cartesian coordinate system defined specifically for the first image. The resulting virtual map includes a virtual representation of the physical object, a set of Cartesian coordinates assigned to a set of pixels in the pixels, and a set of Cartesian rotation angles assigned to the set of pixels. A first transform is calculated that scales the Cartesian coordinate system to a physical scale of the geographical location. A data structure stored in a data repository is formed by applying the first transform to the virtual map. The data structure includes the set of pixels, a set of scaled Cartesian coordinates, the set of Cartesian rotation angles, and a physical scale virtual representation of the physical object.

A method, apparatus, and program product render a seismic slice in real time and in a computationally-efficient manner using a displacement mapping technique implemented in one or more programmable shaders of a graphics processing unit (GPU), e.g., using programmable shaders in a GPU to perform both tessellation and displacement of primitives in connection with rendering a displacement-mapped visualization of the seismic slice for display in an interactive 3D visualization environment.
