Abstract
A method, computer system and computer program are disclosed for representing a first surface at multiple levels of resolution. The first surface is partitioned into nodes with one or more boundaries, each level of resolution having a subset of the boundaries. A second surface may be classified against the first surface. Surfaces and the model may be decimated. Portions of the surfaces may be loaded from persistent memory on demand and removed when no longer required.
