Progressive Transmission of Cell Octrees
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a technique to carry out progressive transmission of a volume data set using a hierarchical index of the data set. The intermediate data transmitted can be used as a complete representation, allowing the client to perform any computation on the volume and to generate any isosurface. The experiments performed show that a good approximation can be achieved for medical data sets with less than ten per cent of the data transmitted. The hierarchical index used is a compressed BONO index (cell octree), that is also used to speed up the isosurface generation.

Progressive Transmission of Polyhedral Solids Using a Hierarchical Representation Scheme
In the last years several 3D model compression methods for multiresolution applications have been presented, most of them using 3D meshes. Octrees are a natural multiresolution representation scheme, although it is approximate. Extensions of classical Octrees that represent polyhedral object exactly have been proposed. One of them are the SP-Octrees, that incorporates boundary information of th...
متن کاملSP-Octrees Visualization Using Impostors
SP-Octrees (Space-Partition Octrees) allow a multiresolution representation of polyhedral objects, and have been successfully used in progressive transmission. Nonetheless, the SP-Octree is a solid modeling structure, intended to solve problems as solid intersections and point inclusion tests. At intermediate levels of the SP-Octree, the visualization is a rough approximation of the object due ...
متن کاملCombining SP-Octrees and impostors for the visualisation of multiresolution models
Space-Partition Octree (SP-Octree) is a hierarchical representation scheme for solid modelling. It allows a multiresolution representation of polyhedral objects, and has been successfully used in progressive transmission. Moreover, this scheme allows visualising the model in an adaptive way. However, at intermediate levels of the SPOctree, the obtained visualisation is a rough approximation of ...
متن کاملModeling dynamic surfaces with octrees
Past uses of octrees have been for representation of static objects. We discuss extensions necessary to model dynamic surfaces. One particularly important aspect of this is the ability to represent expanding surfaces that grow to be arbitrarily large. Our enhanced octree does exactly this, and models contraction as well. The ability to represent dynamic surfaces allows us to apply octrees to ne...
متن کاملFast dual generation of pointerless octrees
Geometry processing applications frequently rely on octree structures, since they provide simple and efficient hierarchies for discrete data. However, octrees do not guarantee direct continuous interpolation of this data inside its nodes. This motivates the use of the octree’s dual structure, which is one of the simplest continuous hierarchical structures. With the emergence of pointerless repr...
