Massive-Model Rendering Techniques: A Tutorial

TL;DR: This state‐of‐the‐art report investigates the background theory of perception and vision as well as the latest advancements in display engineering and tracking technologies involved in near‐eye displays.

TL;DR: The article reviews some important documentation requirements and specifications, the actual 3D surveying and modeling techniques and methodologies with their limitations and potentialities as well some visualization issues involved in the heritage field.

TL;DR: This report reviews the existing compressed GPU volume rendering approaches, covering sampling grid layouts, compact representation models, compression techniques, GPU rendering architectures and fast decoding techniques.

TL;DR: This paper develops a GPU-based out-of-GPU-core rendering algorithm that manages data between the CPU host memory and the GPU device memory and generates complex global illumination effects with increased data access coherence and has one order of magnitude performance gain over the CPU-based approach.

TL;DR: The progressive mesh (PM) representation is introduced, a new scheme for storing and transmitting arbitrary triangle meshes that addresses several practical problems in graphics: smooth geomorphing of level-of-detail approximations, progressive transmission, mesh compression, and selective refinement.

TL;DR: A set of efficient image based rendering methods capable of rendering multiple frames per second on a PC that warps Sprites with Depth representing smooth surfaces without the gaps found in other techniques and splatting an efficient solution to the resampling problem.

TL;DR: The fundamental issues in visibility are reviewed and an overview of the visibility culling techniques developed in the last decade are conducted.

TL;DR: Recent developments in compression of 3D surface meshes are surveyed and some open questions and directions for future research are listed.
