Abstract
We propose a new method to accelerate rendering during the
interactive visualization of complex scenes. The method is
applicable if the cost of per-pixel processing is high
compared to simple frame buffer transfer operations, as
supported by low-end graphics systems with high-performance
CPUs or 2-D graphics accelerators. In this case rendering
an appropriately down-scaled image and then enlarging it
allows a trade-off of rendering speed and image quality.
Using this method, more uniform frame rates can be achieved,
and the dynamic viewing error can be reduced.
