A First Step to Evaluate and Compare Multiresolution Models José Ribelles, Miguel Chover, Angeles López and Joaquín Huerta

A variety of multiresolution models for arbitrary triangle meshes have been presented in the last years. In order to achieve an interactive visualization, multiresolution models must store and retrieve data efficiently. In this paper, we present a first step to evaluate and compare multiresolution models. We propose a set of tests to measure the speed performance of the models for interactive visualization and uniform resolution LOD. We have carried out some experiments with implementations of the following two models: Progressive Meshes and Multiresolution Ordered Meshes.
