[comp.graphics] Fast Hidden Line Removal in Vector Graphics

ewm@mdavcr.UUCP (Eric W. Mitchell) (05/16/91)

I'm working on a model based computer vision project where I need to be
able to quickly generate a list of the edges visible in a complex object
from any given viewpoint.

I am looking for suggestions on the fastest methods to do hidden line
removal on these objects.

Currently, I am only doing back face removal and eliminating edges which
are off-screen.


Please save me some time, and point me at the most efficient methods of
generating my visible line list.

Thanks in advance,

Eric

ps.  please email any ideas directly to me.
