Abstract

Systems and methods for three dimensional modeling using skipping heuristics and fusing are disclosed herein. An example method includes obtaining a plurality of three dimensional models of a target, each of the models having a unique resolution level, assembling an aggregate three dimensional model using a hierarchical tree representation of the plurality of three dimensional models by skipping levels of detail in the hierarchical tree and rendering the levels of the hierarchical tree that were not skipped. Fusing overlapping sections of the aggregate model can be accomplished using bivariate visibility testing.
