Abstract

In voxel-based modeling systems, shapes of objects are visualized in terms of many tiny polygons. Because these excessive polygons deteriorate the interactive visualization performance, a grid-dependent local polygon reduction method is developed in this paper. Instead of processing the entire polygons altogether in the reduction process, these polygons are divided into many subgroups and reduced separately. This method has the advantages of having faster computational speed and providing local editing functions. The relations of native voxel data and sub-regions for local reduction are discussed. The partial surface editing function is also presented.
