Abstract:Abstract-We develop a new algorithm for isosurface extraction and view-dependent filtering from large time-varying fields, by using a novel Persistent Time-Octree (PTOT) indexing structure. Previously, the Persistent Octree (POT) was proposed to perform isosurface extraction and view-dependent filtering, which combines the advantages of the interval tree (for optimal searches of active cells) and of the Branch-On-Need Octree (BONO, for view-dependent filtering), but it only works for steady-state (i.e., single… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
