Space-Efficient Boundary Representation of Volumetric Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a compression technique for efficiently representing boundary objects from volumetric data-sets. Exploiting spatial coherency within object contours, we are able to reduce the size of the volumetric boundary down to the size of just a few images. Allowing for direct volume rendering of the down-scaled data in addition to compression ratios up to 250:1, interactive volume visualization becomes possible, even over the Internet and on a low-end PC.

Surface area estimation of digitized 3D objects using quasi-Monte Carlo methods
A novel and efficient quasi-Monte Carlo method for estimating the surface area of digitized 3D objects in the volumetric representation is presented. It operates directly on the original digitized objects without any surface reconstruction procedure. Based on the Cauchy–Crofton formula from integral geometry, the method estimates the surface area of a volumetric object by counting the number of...
متن کاملUnstructured Computational Meshes for Subdivision Geometry of Scanned Geological Objects
This paper presents a generic approach to generation of surface and volume unstructured meshes for complex free-form objects, obtained by laser scanning. A four-stage automated procedure is proposed for discrete data sets: surface mesh extraction from Delaunay tetrahedrization of scanned points, surface mesh simplification, definition of triangular interpolating subdivision faces, Delaunay volu...
متن کاملRepresentation Of Objects In A Volumetric Frequency Domain With Application To Face Recognition
A novel method for representing 3-D objects that unifies viewer and model centered object representations is presented. A unified 3-D frequency-domain representation (called Volumetric/Iconic Spectral Signatures V/ISS) encapsulates both the spatial structure of the object and a continuum of its views in the same data structure. The frequency-domain image of an object viewed from any direction c...
متن کاملA Polynomial Algorithm for Minimal Interval Representation
A three-dimensional object has many possible representations inside a computer. Specifically, constructive solid geometry, boundary representation, and volumetric approximation techniques are commonly used to represent objects in solid geometric modeling (see [4]). Among the volumetric schemes are the octree [3] and the more recently developed switching-function representation [6] in which the ...
متن کاملLinear-Time CSG Rendering of Intersected Convex Objects
The Sequenced Convex Subtraction (SCS) algorithm is a hardware based multi-pass image-space algorithm for general purpose Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) Rendering. Convex objects combined by volumetric intersection, difference and union are rendered in real-time without b-rep pre-processing. OpenGL stencil and depth testing is used to determine the visible surface for each pixel on the scree...
