Title:

Continuous-Resolution Meshes for Level-Of-Detail Approximation

Abstract:

A continuous-resolution mesh is a representation of a polygonal model which produces approximations of the model over a continuous resolution domain. At NRC, we developed a continuous-resolution mesh implementation which generates level-of-detail approximations for an arbitrary model in real-time. In this talk I will describe the implementation and give a short demonstration.
