Introduction
Point primitives have experienced a major "renaissance" in recent
years, and considerable research has been devoted to the efficient representation,
modeling, processing, and rendering of point-sampled geometry. There are
two main reasons for this new interest in points: On one hand, we have
witnessed a dramatic increase in the polygonal complexity of computer
graphics models. The overhead of managing, processing, and manipulating
very large polygonal-mesh connectivity information has led many leading
researchers to question the future utility of polygons as the fundamental
graphics primitive. On the other hand, modern 3D digital photography and
3D scanning systems acquire both geometry and appearance of complex, real-world
objects. These techniques generate huge volumes of point samples, which
constitute discrete building blocks of 3D object geometry and appearance
- much as pixels are the digital elements for images.
