Surface modeling and rendering with line segments
Bridging the modelling and rendering gap between the existing triangle and point primitives, we explore the use of line segments as a new primitive to represent and render 3D models. For the task of modelling, we propose two methods to extract hybrid point and line segment models from scanned point …
