Abstract
A method for encoding the complete volumetric information of a virtual object and for retrieval of the same, using synthetic genes. The method efficiently describes the internal volumetric detail of a virtual object by encoding the object's outermost surface into a synthetic gene sequence. A set of rules is defined, by which a given synthetic gene sequence is expanded so as to produce an exact replica of a virtual object's outermost surface.
