Abstract

This paper presents the application of hierarchical splines on the representation of models with extremely rough surfaces. The displacement between the smooth spline and the rough shape is stored as a set of images, where the displacement scalar is approximated using all three channels of the image (red, green, and blue). This type of surface representation allows easy and fast scientific analysis, interactive web display, and a significant reduction in the size of the extremely rough shapes. By using hierarchical splines over B-spline in combination with a compact displacement representation, we aim to achieve the same displacement quality of the whole surface, taking care that the model does not require much memory and is suitable for fast rendering. The focus of the study is on models from cultural heritage, without diminishing the importance of applying the approach to models from other areas.
