چکیده

We present a method to adaptively refine an irregular triangle mesh as it deforms in real-time. The method increases surface smoothness in regions of high deformation by splitting triangles in a fashion similar to one or two steps of Loop subdivision. The refinement is computed for an arbitrary triangle mesh and the subdivided triangles are simply passed to the rendering engine, leaving the mesh itself unchanged. The algorithm can thus be easily plugged into existing systems to enhance visual appearance of animated meshes. The refinement step has very low computational overhead and is easy to implement. We demonstrate the use of the algorithm in our physics-based facial animation system.

Adaptive level of detail with occlusion culling

Many techniques have been developed in order to accelerate the visualization of large triangle meshes. Level of Detail techniques can be used to create view-dependent approximations of wide range scenes with low occlusion, such as landscapes. For highly occluded scenes there exist many occlusion culling techniques, which discard occluded parts of the scene before rendering. This can drastically...

Visualizer: a mesh visualization system using view-dependent refinement

Arbitrary triangle mesh is a collection of 3D triangles without any shape or boundary restrictions. Progressive mesh (PM) is a multiresolution representation that defines continuous level of detail approximations for arbitrary triangle meshes. PM representation of a mesh can be processed to obtain a mesh approximation between the original and the base (simplified) mesh. Furthermore, PM can be r...

A simple and flexible framework to adapt dynamic meshes

Many graphics applications represent deformable surfaces through dynamic meshes. To be consistent during deformations, the dynamic meshes require an adaptation process. In this paper we present a simple and flexible framework to adapt dynamic meshes following deformable surfaces. Our scheme combines normal and tangential geometric corrections with refinement and simplification resolution contro...

DStrips: Dynamic Triangle Strips for Real-Time Mesh Simplification and Rendering Category: Scientific Research

Multiresolution modelling techniques are important to cope with the increasingly complex polygonal models available today such as high-resolution isosurfaces, large terrains, and complex digitized shapes 21. Large triangle meshes are difficult to render at interactive frame rates due to the large number of vertices to be processed by the graphics hardware. Level-of-detail (LOD) based visualizat...
