Combining SP-Octrees and impostors for the visualisation of multiresolution models

In this paper, we present an approach that improves the visualisation of these multiresolution SP-Octrees models by applying impostors over those planes that are not part of the solid boundary. This way, it is possible to obtain a more realistic visualisation of the object, although the maximum LOD is not used. At each moment, the impostor is selected depending on the observer's viewpoint. Each SP-Octree has associated a set of impostors that are views of the modelled complex solid.
