Hybrid mesh-volume LoDs for all-scale pre-filtering of complex 3D assets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of constructing appearance-preserving level of details (LoDs) of complex 3D models such as trees. We propose a hybrid method that combines the strengths of mesh and volume representations. Our main idea is to separate macroscopic (i.e. larger than the target spatial resolution) and microscopic (sub-resolution) surfaces at each scale and to treat them differently, because meshes are very efficient at representing macroscopic surfaces while sub-resolution geometry benefits from volumetric approximations. We introduce a new algorithm that detects the macroscopic surfaces of a mesh for a given resolution. We simplify these surfaces with edge collapses and we provide a method for pre-filtering their normal distributions and albedos. To approximate microscopic details, we use a heterogeneous microflake participating medium and we introduce a new artifact-free voxelization algorithm that preserves local occlusion. Thanks to our macroscopic surface analysis, our algorithm is fully automatic and it generates seamless LoDs at arbitrarily coarse resolutions for a wide range of 3D models.

3D Hybrid Mesh Generation for Reservoir Flow Simulation
A great challenge for flow simulators of new generation is to gain more accuracy at well proximity within complex geological structures. For this purpose, a new approach based on hybrid mesh modeling was proposed in 2D in [1]. In this hybrid mesh, the reservoir is described by a structured quadrilateral mesh and drainage areas around wells are represented by radial circular meshes. In order to ...
متن کاملAn improved LOD specification for 3D building models
The level of detail (LOD) concept of the OGC standard CityGML 2.0 is intended to differentiate multi-scale representations of semantic 3D city models. The concept is in practice principally used to indicate the geometric detail of a model, primarily of buildings. Despite the popularity and the general acceptance of this categorisation, we argue in this paper that from a geometric point of view ...
متن کاملROAD DATA INFORMATION SYSTEM; BUDAPEST CASE STUDY
Budapest Közút is developing ROad Data Information System based on mobile laser scanning since 2013. All public roads (cca. 5000 km) are surveyed by MLS (Riegl VMX450) in survey grade accuracy and all visible road assets has been digitized and loaded to a complex 3D GIS environment. Since the first full coverage had been done in 2014 the whole city has also been updated - being one of the few l...
متن کاملA framework for memory-efficient levels of detail
We introduce a representation, called a Multi-Level Progressive Mesh, for managing Levels of Detail (LODs) of a triangular mesh, allowing to store in memory an arbitrary number of LODs, with only about a 10 % increase in memory usage with respect to the highest resolution mesh. We assume that LODs were generated by a previous process, and concentrate on representing them efficiently, allowing p...

With the advance of wireless communications and the increased processing power of wireless devices, network-based graphics applications such as online virtual reality and online games are now being extended from wired broadband networks to wireless networks. However, it is a challenging task to transmit complex graphics models over wireless networks due to huge data volume of complex 3D graphic...
