Abstract:

Current level of detail (LOD) modeling methods do not combine simplification and subdivision, which results in models not being rich in detail level. Therefore, the energy operator was used to combine the simplification algorithm of a three-dimensional (3D) object model with the subdivision algorithm, and a LOD modeling method based on an energy operator was proposed for 3D objects. The method involves three major steps: calculation of energy operators for 3D models, model simplification and model subdivision based on an energy operator. Experiments show that this method can generate models with rich levels of detail and has good visualization effect and high accuracy. In addition, it can be applied to many fields such as 3D scene simulation and smart city.

Key words: LOD modeling, energy operator, 3D spatial object model, simplification algorithm, subdivision algorithm
