Efficient Level-of-details for Point based Rendering
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present techniques for the efficient generation of a level-of-detail (LOD) data structure for large scale point-based surface representation and rendering. Our approach generates a spatial partitioning hierarchy of irregular point samples in 3D space, and we provide an efficient point-octree LOD generation algorithm. Using the concept of transformation-invariant homogeneous covariance matrices we show how bounding ellipsoid information can efficiently be computed for all LODs. Furthermore, we present an efficient data structure for the representation of the LOD hierarchy.

Dynamic surfel set refinement for high-quality rendering
Splatting-based rendering techniques are currently the best choice for efficient high-quality rendering of point-based geometries. However, such techniques are not suitable for large magnification, especially when the object is undersampled. This paper improves the rendering quality of pure splatting techniques using a fast dynamic up-sampling algorithm for point-based geometry. Our algorithm i...
متن کاملLayered point clouds: a simple and efficient multiresolution structure for distributing and rendering gigantic point-sampled models
We recently introduced an efficient multiresolution structure for distributing and rendering very large point sampled models on consumer graphics platforms [1]. The structure is based on a hierarchy of precomputed object-space point clouds, that are combined coarseto-fine at rendering time to locally adapt sample densities according to the projected size in the image. The progressive block base...
متن کاملPoint Rendering in CUDA Path Tracer
A novel technique for point rendering in a CUDA path tracer is introduced in this proposal. The approach makes it possible to render point represented geometries with global illumination effects. Octree data structure is combined in order for more efficient intersection determination. Furthermore, Octree enables the users/artists to choose the level of details of the rendered results to achieve...
متن کاملAdaptive Triangulation of Point-Based Level Sets
Point based level sets are a recently developed implicit surface representation that combines the benefits of point-set surfaces and grid-based level sets. They provide convenient topology changes and adaptivity and are thus useful for tracking the evolution of heavily deforming surfaces. However, it is often useful to extract an explicit mesh from the implicit surface, for example for renderin...
متن کاملEfficient Point-Based Rendering Techniques for Haptic Display of Virtual Objects
Computer haptics, an emerging field of research that is analogous to computer graphics, is concerned with the generation and rendering of haptic virtual objects. In this paper, we propose an efficient haptic rendering method for displaying the feel of 3-D polyhedral objects in virtual environments (VEs). Using this method and a haptic interface device, the users can manually explore and feel th...
