Multiresolution Algorithms for Rapid Modeling, Simulation, and Visualization

本研究活动的目的是探索并进一步推进多分辨率算法在响应式工作台提供的半沉浸式3D立体显示环境中用于建模、模拟和可视化。这种大尺寸(1.8x1.35米)的水平显示允许用户与虚拟对象和数据集进行自然交互。它还对快速显示和操纵算法提出了很高的要求，需要新的方法，这些方法将被开发用于1)细分表示的构造，2)其压缩以用于在网络上的渐进传输，3)自适应的细节层次显示和4)高级操纵工具。这项研究将能够利用一个正在进行的强大的多分辨率建模计划，该计划已经证明了基本的多分辨率算法在几何建模任务中的强大功能。

The objective of this research activity is to explore and further advance the use of multiresolution algorithms for modeling, simulation, and visualization in the semi-immersive 3D stereoscopic display environment provided by the Responsive Workbench. This large scale (1.8 by 1.35m) horizontal display allows users to interact naturally with virtual objects and datasets. It also places heavy demands on rapid display and manipulation algorithms, requiring new methodologies, which will be developed for 1) construction of subdivision representations, 2) their compression for progressive transmission over networks, 3) adaptive, level-of-detail display and 4) advanced manipulation tools. This research will be able to leverage a strong ongoing program in multiresolution modeling which has already demonstrated the power of the basic multiresolution algorithms for geometric modeling tasks.
