This work is focused on the interactive navigation through highly polygon-populated ship environments. A conservative visibility algorithm is presented that hierarchically computes visibility for different observer ...

Quadtree representation of two-dimensional objects is performed with a tree that describes the recursive subdivision of the more complex parts of a picture until the desired resolution is reached. At the end, all the leaves ...

Multiresolution representations are becoming more and more important for the visualization, operation and interrogation of very complex scenes. In this paper, an automatic simplification algorithm for general two-manifold ...

Since the publication of the original Marching Cubes algorithm, numerous variations have been proposed for guaranteeing water-tight constructions of triangulated approximations of iso-surfaces. Most approaches divide the ...

This paper describes a constrained fairing method for implicit surfaces defined on a voxelization. This method is suitable for computing a closed smooth surface that approximates an initial set of face connected voxels.

The dichotomy between detail representation and data management is still a big issue in the context of the acquisition and visualization of 3D objects, especially in the field of Cultural Heritage. New technologies give ...

Mobile devices have experienced an incredible market penetration in the last decade. Currently, medium to premium smartphones are relatively affordable devices. With the increase in screen size and resolution, together ...

Image-based rendering techniques are often the preferred choice to accelerate the exploration of massive outdoor models and complex human-made structures. In the last few years, relief mapping has been shown to be extremely ...

This paper deals with simplification algorithms for generating coarse-level approximations of both geometrically and topologically complex models. Our main contribution is a new framework called DPS which models a family ...
