Base model transmission for 3D graphics in a network environment

Abstract

A base model should be transmitted First in progressive transmission schemes, and its transmission delay dominates initiation time for rendering. To reduce the initiation time, we restructure the base model to transmit visible vertices and triangles for some specific viewpoints first. and therefore clients can start rendering when parts of model file are received, Simulation results show that only 37.4%. - 51.3%, of model file are required to start rendering. and hence the initiation time is significantly reduced.
