  • Patent number: 11417073
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory media of the various embodiments enable generating at least one hierarchical-level-of-detail (LOD) data structure in order to visualize and traverse measurement data associated with a three-dimensional (3D) model. In various embodiments, generating at least one hierarchical LOD data structure may include establishing a background grid comprising a mathematical grid structure defined in a common coordinate system, building a layout comprising an intermediary data structure, computing measurement data for each tile based at least in part on the height data samples, and storing at least a portion of the computed measurement data for each tile in a metadata file.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2022
    Assignee: CESIUM GS, INC.

  • Patent number: 11257281
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory media of various embodiments enable rendering of a time-dynamic (4D) volume dataset. Various embodiments may provide a method for responsive and high quality rendering of time-dynamic hierarchical level-of-detail voxel datasets. Various embodiments may provide a prioritization system that balances visual quality and temporal responsiveness even with slow network or filesystem speeds. Various embodiments may provide a compact and efficient storage format for time-dynamic and mixed-resolution voxel rendering on a graphics processing unit (GPU).
