An Occlusion Culling Toolkit for OpenSG PLUS
نویسنده
چکیده
Image-space occlusion culling is an useful approach to reduce the rendering load of large polygonal models in scientific computing, mechanical engineering, or virtual medicine. Like most large model techniques, occlusion culling trades overhead costs with the rendering costs of the possibly occluded geometry. In this paper we present an occlusion culling toolkit for OpenSG. The toolkit includes three different image space techniques utilizing graphics hardware. These techniques are supported by other software techniques to optimize the occlusion culling queries. All techniques are conservative and usable with dynamic scenes, because no precomputing is necessary.

A First Step towards Occlusion Culling in OpenSG PLUS
The fast increasing size of datasets in scientific computing, mechanical engineering, or virtual medicine is quickly exceeding the graphics capabilities of modern computers. Toolkits for the large model visualization address this problem by combining efficient geometric techniques, such as occlusion and visibility culling, mesh reduction, and efficient rendering. OpenSG PLUS is such a toolkit w...

Very large polygonal models are frequently used in scientific computing, mechanical engineering, or virtual medicine. An effective technique to handle these large models is occlusion culling. Like most large model techniques, occlusion culling trades overhead costs with the rendering costs of the possibly occluded geometry. In this paper, we present occlusion culling techniques for OpenSG. Thes...
متن کاملTessellation and rendering of trimmed NURBS models in scene graph systems
Today scene graphs are ubiquitous in computer graphics: since they provide both a well suited data structure and an abstraction layer, almost all modern graphics applications employ some sort of scene graph. Unfortunately most scene graphs do not support higher order primitives (such as trimmed NURBS) adequately, even though in Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems the de facto standard surface r...
متن کاملLazy Occlusion Grid Culling
We present Lazy Occlusion Grid Culling, a new image-based occlusion culling technique for rendering of very large scenes which can be of general type. It is based on a low-resolution grid that is updated in a lazy manner and that allows fast decisions if an object is occluded or visible together with a hierarchical scene-representation to cull large parts of the scene at once. It is hardware-ac...

HANSONG ZHANG: E ective Occlusion Culling for the Interactive Display of Arbitrary Models. (Under the direction of Dinesh Manocha.) As an advanced form of visibility culling, occlusion culling detects hidden objects and prevents them from being rendered. An occlusion-culling algorithm that can e ectively accelerate interactive graphics must simultaneously satisfy the following criteria: General...
