Abstract:
A parallel object-space hidden surface removal algorithm for polyhedral scenes is presented. The uniform grid technique is used to achieve parallelism for the hidden line removal. A conflict-detection and back-off strategy is then used to obtain parallelism for the visible region reconstruction from the visible segments. The algorithm has been implemented on a Sequent Balance 21000 shared-memory parallel computer. An average speedup of 10 has been obtained using 15 processors.
