Deforming region support #5
Comments
This solves a special case of deforming regions, where it is guaranteed that the number and the ordering of the region vertices remains the same across snapshots. |
I agree - the number and order of vertices must be the same. However, this special case can be generalised as follows. Generalised Deforming Region Without Holes Consider two consecutive observations of a deforming region at times A and B. For simplicity, assume there are no holes, though this method can be extended to include them too.
Generalised Deforming Region With Holes WebVMT does not currently support holes in regions, but this feature would be simple to add and could support deforming regions using a similar method to that above. In this case, both regions must have the same number of holes though 'redundant' holes, i.e. a hole where all vertices are concurrent, could be inserted to support events when existing holes close or new holes open. |
A deforming region is one whose boundary includes vertices that change location over time relative to each other. An oil slick is a real world example of this.
Such features can be represented using WebVMT with the interpolation enhancement proposed at TPAC 2020. As a simple example:
