Abstract:

This is a bibliography of multiresolution modeling (a.k.a. level of detail modeling), curve and surface simplification, and related ideas, including:

• applied mathematics (approximation theory)
• computational geometry (triangulation, data structures)
• computer aided design (surface modeling),
• computer vision (shape acquisition, surface model fitting)
• computer graphics (rendering complex scenes, visualization, real time, interactive display),
• simulators (flight/driving, virtual reality),
• cartography (geographic information systems, terrain models)

The types of surfaces dealt with include height fields (e.g. terrains), parametric surfaces, manifolds, manifolds with boundary, and non-manifolds (e.g. arbitrary set of possibly intersecting polygons). The most common surface simplification methods work with piecewise planar triangular meshes, but some methods employ curved parametric surfaces.

Keywords:

multiresolution modeling, surface simplification, surface approximation, surface fitting, curve simplification, line generalization, terrain modeling, level of detail modeling, triangulation, virtual reality, simulators, cartography
