Abstract
The ability to create 3D models, using registered texel images (fused ladar and digital imagery), is an important topic in remote sensing. These models are automatically generated by matching multiple texel images into a single common reference frame. However, rendering a sequence of independently registered texel images often provides challenges. Although accurately registered, the model textures are often incorrectly overlapped and interwoven when using standard rendering techniques. Consequently, corrections must be done after all the primitives have been rendered, by determining the best texture for any viewable fragment in the model. Determining the best texture is difficult, as each texel image remains independent after registration. The depth data is not merged to form a single 3D mesh, thus eliminating the possibility of generating a fused texture atlas. It is therefore necessary to determine which textures are overlapping and how to best combine them dynamically during the render process. The best texture for a particular pixel can be defined using 3D geometric criteria, in conjunction with a real-time, view-dependent ranking algorithm. As a result, overlapping texture fragments can now be hidden, exposed, or blended according to their computed measure of reliability.
