ORTHOGONAL SIMPLIFICATION OF OBJECTS REPRESENTED BY THE EXTREME VERTEX MODEL

Irving Cruz-Matías, Dolors Ayala

Abstract

This work presents a new approach to simplify objects. It is restricted to orthogonal pseudo-polyhedra (OPP) and binary volumes. The method produces a level-of-detail (LOD) sequence of OPP and it is incremental. Any object in this sequence is a bounding OPP of the previous objects. The sequence finishes with the minimum axis-aligned bounding box. OPP are represented by the Extreme Vertices Model. Simplification is achieved using a new approach called merging faces that relies on the application of 2D Boolean operations.
