ABSTRACT Level-of-detail (LOD) representations are an important tool for realtime
rendering of complex geometric environments. The previously introduced progressive mesh …

The key to real-time rendering of large-scale surfaces is to locally adapt surface geometric
complexity to changing view parameters. Several schemes have been developed to address …

Rendering throughput has reached a level that enables a novel approach to level-of-detail
(LOD) control in terrain rendering. We introduce the geometry clipmap, which caches the …

This paper describes an efficient technique for out‐of‐core rendering and management of
large textured terrainsurfaces. The technique, called Batched Dynamic Adaptive Meshes …

Due to the surface meshes produced at increasing complexity in many applications, interest
in efficient simplification algorithms and multiresolution representation is very high. An …

We describe an efficient technique for out-of-core management and interactive rendering of
planet sized textured terrain surfaces. The technique, called planet-sized batched dynamic …

A new hierarchical triangle-based model for representing surfaces over sampled data is
proposed, which is based on the subdivision of the surface domain into nested …

In this paper we present a novel approach for interactive rendering of large terrain datasets.
Our approach is based on subdividing a terrain into rectangular patches at different …

Object interactions are ubiquitous in interactive computer graphics, 3D object motion
simulations, virtual reality and robotics applications. Most collision detection algorithms are …

These tutorial notes provide an introduction, review, and discussion of the state-of-the-art on
simplification methods, Level Of Detail, and multiresolution models for surface meshes, and …
