Abstract

Computer assisted design data is rendered in the cloud. A client-server relationship is provided for 3D rendering. To reduce the burden on the server, the 3D rendering adapts based on the client capabilities. Where possible, some of the 3D rendering is performed by the server and some by the client machine. The 3D rendering by the client machine may be limited to avoid transfer of geometrical data of the CAD data. Different textures or shaders are used for rendering images associated with motion. Dictionary information is accumulated by the client machine to reduce the number of coefficients later transferred to the client machine for 3D rendering. The model represented by the CAD data is used to predict rendered images so that video compression may be performed. The server sparsely renders an image and compressive sensing is used by the client machine to generate the complete image.
