Occlusion Culling Algorithms

Performance Issue Ideas

  • Spatially partition point cloud into Bounding volume hierarchy and do bounding volume frustum culling
  • Do static rendering
  • Render low LOD when rotating point cloud
  • Push as much as we can to CPU and GPU
  • Use progressive "mesh" optimization to render objects if they are far from the camera
  • Allow user to control LOD
  • Stream point cloud, dynamically create and merge bounding volumes
  • Pre-create Bounding volume hierarchy
