Hierarchical and adaptive visualization on nested grids (Q1377273)

This paper deals with methods of hierarchical and adaptive visualization. The authors present an interactive visualization tool for exploration of the some simulated physical process using a multiresolution methods for a large class of hierarchical and nested meshes. Such approach is based on a hierarchical traversal of grid elements combined with an adaptive selection of the hierarchical depth. This methodology can be applied both to isosurface generation and to a multiresolutional slicing algorithm for volume data. The examples illustrate a high efficiency of the proposed algorithms.
