Triangle strip compression based on cluster parallel rendering

We presented a triangle strip compression framework called visibility-coherently piecewise strip compression (VCPSC), which eliminated the traditional inherent deficiency and suited for cluster rendering system. It included three steps: visibility and space coherence based segmentation method, concentric circle based single triangle strip generation and a single triangle strip compressed method ETSC (efficient triangle strip compress). Since an encoded patch can act as a virtual primitive which can be randomly accessed, the encoded mesh can be partitioned in the encoded domain. As a sequential, every encoded patches of VCPSC can be view-dependent sorted without being decoded first. Experimental results show that VCPSC can dramatically improve the rendering rate.
