Point Set Surfaces Representations Based on Hierarchical Geometry Images

Abstract

Point set surface is attracting more and more attentions in computer graphics and CAD industry, and gradually becoming one of the main 3D model representations. This paper presents a new method for multi-resolution representations of point set surface that is transformed into a set of hierarchical geometry images. The original 3D model can be reconstructed from multi-resolution images step by step. These multi-resolution representations can be applied to progressive network transmission of point set surfaces
