We advocate the use of point sets to represent shapes. We provide a definition of a smooth
manifold surface from a set of points close to the original surface. The definition is based on …

Level of detail (LOD) techniques are increasingly used by professional real-time developers
to strike the balance between breathtaking virtual worlds and smooth, flowing animation …

In this paper we present sequential point trees, a data structure that allows adaptive
rendering of point clouds completely on the graphics processor. Sequential point trees are …

Elliptical weighted average (EWA) surface splatting is a technique for high quality rendering
of point‐sampled 3D objects. EWA surface splatting renders water‐tight surfaces of complex …

In the last years, point-based rendering has been shown to offer the potential to outperform
traditional triangle based rendering both in speed and visual quality when it comes to …

We present an efficient approach for end-to-end out-of-core construction and interactive
inspection of very large arbitrary surface models. The method tightly integrates visibility …

We present a method for interactive rendering of large outdoor scenes. Complex polygonal
plant models and whole plant populations are represented by relatively small sets of point …

Efficient and informative visualization of surfaces with uncertainties is an important topic with
many applications in science and engineering. In these applications, the correct course of …

The increasing popularity of points as rendering primitives has led to a variety of different
rendering algorithms, and the different implementations compare like apples to oranges. In …

Point set surfaces (PSS) are a smooth manifold surface approximation from a set of sample
points. The surface definition is based on a projection operation that constructs local …
