Ray-tracing for terrain mapping is provided. A system of an aerial vehicle can identify points generated from data captured by a sensor of the aerial vehicle. The points can each indicate a respective altitude value of a portion of terrain. The system can determine, based on the altitude values of the points, a threshold altitude of the terrain, and can identify a boundary defined in part based on the threshold altitude of the terrain. The system can generate a terrain map for the terrain based on applying a ray-tracing process to the points. The ray-tracing process can be performed within the boundary, using the points as respective sources and the aerial vehicle as a destination. The system can present a graphical representation of the terrain map in a graphical user interface of the aerial vehicle.
