progressive streaming of irregular meshes using geometry images

This paper presents a novel approach for view-dependent streaming of highly detailed and irregular meshes. In contrast to the conventional progressive streaming where the resolution of a model changes in the geometry space, our server firstly maps the 3

Multi-image 3D reconstruction: A photogrammetric and structure from motion comparative analysis

Virtual Web Reconstruction of cultural heritage is one of the most interesting and innovative tool to preserve historical, architectural and artistic memory of many sites, particularly the ones prone to disappear, as well as to promote territories and tourism development. Recently, high-resolution 3D models are realized through improved technology and integration of survey techniques such as laser scanning and photogrammetry. However, the large and complex volume of 3D data makes difficult to access and handle them for either experts and citizens. In particular, the rendering of large 3D models may influence the performance of web publication and browsing. Considering this background, the goal of this paper is the comparison between the level of accuracy and realism of 3D models optimized using two different mesh simplification. The metric used is based on the Hausdorff distance which is a generic technique to define a distance between two nonempty sets, considering 3D scanner mesh as a reference in the measure. The “Casale di Pacciano” near Bisceglie (Apulia region, Italy), has been investigated as study case

An Heuristic Analysis of the Classification of Bivariate Subdivision Schemes

Alexa [1] and Ivrissimtzis et al. [2] have proposed a classification mechanism for bivariate subdivision schemes. Alexa considers triangular primal schemes, Ivrissimtzis et al. generalise this both to quadrilateral and hexagonal meshes and to dual and mixed schemes. I summarise this classification and then proceed to analyse it in order to determine which classes of subdivision scheme are likely to contain useful members. My aim is to ascertain whether there are any potentially useful classes which have not yet been investigated or whether we can say, with reasonable confidence, that all of the useful classes have already been considered
