Abstract

A μ-mesh ('micromesh'), which is a structured representation of geometry that exploits coherence for compactness and exploits its structure for efficient rendering with intrinsic level of detail is provided. The micromesh is a regular mesh having a power-of-two number of segments along its perimeters, and which can be overlaid on a surface of a geometric primitive. The micromesh is used for providing a visibility map and/or a displacement map that is accessible using barycentric coordinates of a point of interest on the micromesh.
