Point Model Rendering on Hardware

Point cloud model is a newly introduced geometric representation and point based modeling and rendering techniques have been paid much attention in computer graphics community. The programmability of GPU makes it become one of the powerful computing platform in most computer graphics applications. A new algorithm is presented for high quality point based rendering by fully exploiting the power of GPU. A semi-octree structure and an image -space adaptive refinement scheme are introduced, which greatly improve the performance of ray traversal in GPU. An efficient ray intersection technique is also proposed, facilitating ray tracing of point models on GPU.
