Abstract:

In this work, we introduce a new algorithm for direct and progressive encoding of isosurfaces extracted from volumetric data. A binary multi-triangulation is used to represent and adapt the 3D scalar grid. This simplicial scheme provides geometrical and topological control on the decoded isosurface. The resulting algorithm is an efficient and flexible isosurface compression scheme.
