Abstract

Model generation in VR-based applications is a necessary step in providing a simulated environment to the user. This process is in general a difficult task. The increase of computational power enabled the display of larger virtual environments, thus, reinforcing the need for improved methods for model acquisition, enhancement, optimization, and adaptation. The objects in a VR scene can usually be categorized into either man-made or natural entities. Two general strategies are followed to create these objects—artificial generation or real-world based acquisition. The former technique focuses on manual or semi-automatic design of virtual environments using computer-based modeling tools. In addition, some simple, exactly defined structures can be generated completely automatically following pre-defined procedural formalisms.
