Abstract
A machine can be specially configured to generate, compress, decompress, store, access, communicate, or otherwise process a special data structure that represents a three-dimensional surface of an object. The data structure can be or include a pruned sparse voxel octree in which each node in the octree corresponds to a different block of the octree, and children of the node in the octree correspond to the smaller blocks that subdivide the block. Moreover, each block occupied by the surface or a portion thereof can define its enclosed surface or portion thereof explicitly or implicitly.
