Comparative Study of Geometric and Image Based Modelling and Rendering Techniques

Abstract

This is a comparative study of the traditional 3D computer graphics technique of geometric modelling and image-based rendering techniques that were surveyed and implemented.We have discussed the classifications and representative methods of both the techniques. The study has shown that there is a strong continuum between both the techniques and a hybrid of the two is most suitable for further implementations.This hybridisation study is underway to create models of real life situations and provide disaster management training.
