Abstract

This paper presents an interactive non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) system that stylizes and renders outdoor scenes captured by 3D laser scanning. In order to deal with the large size, complexity and inherent incompleteness of data obtained from outdoor scans, our system represents outdoor scenes using points instead of traditional polygons. Algorithms are then developed to extract, stylize and render features from this point representation. In addition to conveying various NPR styles, our system also promises consistency in animation by maintaining stroke coherence and density. We achieve NPR of large data at interactive rates by designing novel data structures and algorithms as well as leveraging new features of commodity graphics hardware.
