Abstract
The recent continuous growth in the size and availability of large triangular surface models has generated a great deal of research in multi-resolution progressive representation and data compression. An ongoing challenge is to design an efficient data structure that encompasses both the compactness of a geometric compression scheme and the visual quality of a progressive representation. In this paper we introduce a geometric data-structure and an algorithm to build a compressed representation of a geometric model with attached attributes. This compressed representation encompasses multiple levels of detail that can be transmitted and displayed progressively. The simplification procedure allows one to modify the global topology of the model (number of holes and connected components) achieving guaranteed size coarse levels even for very large and complex models.
