Abstract

We present an algorithm for converting from the boundary representation of a solid to the corresponding octree model. The algorithm utilizes an efficient new connected components labeling technique. A novelty of the method is the demonstration that all processing can be performed directly on linear quad and octree encodings. We illustrate the use of the algorithm by an application to geometric mine modeling and verify its performance by analysis and practical experiments.
