Automatic generation of multiresolution boundary representations
The paper focuses on automatic simplification algorithms for the
generation of a multiresolution family of solid models from an initial
boundary representation of a polyhedral solid. An algorithm for
general polyhedra based on an intermediate octree representation is
proposed. Simplified elements of the multiresolution family
approximate the initial solid within increasing tolerances. A
discussion among different octree-based simplification methods and the
standard marching cubes algorithm is finally presented.Postprint (published version
