Streaming Simplification of Tetrahedral Meshes

چکیده

Unstructured tetrahedral meshes are commonly used in scientific computing to represent scalar, vector, and tensor fields in three dimensions. Visualization of these meshes can be difficult to perform interactively due to their size and complexity. By reducing the size of the data, we can accomplish real-time visualization necessary for scientific analysis. We propose a two-step approach for streaming simplification of large tetrahedral meshes. Our algorithm arranges the data on disk in a streaming, I/O-efficient format that allows coherent access to the tetrahedral cells. A quadric-based simplification is sequentially performed on small portions of the mesh in-core. Our output is a coherent streaming mesh, which facilitates future processing. Our technique is fast, produces high quality approximations, and operates out-of-core to process meshes too large for main memory.

Multiresolution Techniques for the Simplification of Triangular and Tetrahedral Meshes

We study the simplification of triangular and tetrahedral meshes using techniques based on successive edge collapses, as well as the exploitation of the generated multiple levels of detail for the effective processing of the models. Regarding triangular meshes, we present a method for the construction of progressive hulls, by suitable edge collapses; we use the generated hulls for the accelerat...

Substructure Topology Preserving Simplification of Tetrahedral Meshes

Interdisciplinary efforts in modeling and simulating phenomena have led to complex multi-physics models involving different physical properties and materials in the same system. Within a 3d domain, substructures of lower dimensions appear at the interface between different materials. Correspondingly, an unstructured tetrahedral mesh used for such a simulation includes 2d and 1d substructures em...

Time-Critical Rendering of Tetrahedral Meshes

Very large irregular-grid volume datasets are typically represented as tetrahedral meshes and require substantial disk I/O and rendering computation. One effective way to reduce this demanding resource requirement is compression. Previous research showed how rendering and decompression of a losslessly compressed irregular-grid dataset can be integrated into a one-pass computation. This work adv...
