The general octree structure is common for various applications including computer graphics, geometry information analysis and query. Unfortunately, the general octree approach causes duplicated sample data and discrepancy between sampling and representation positions when applied to sample continuous spatial information, for example, signed distance fields. To address these issues, some researchers introduced the dual octree. In this paper, the weakness of the dual octree approach will be illustrated by focusing on the fact that the dual octree cannot access some specific continuous zones asymptotically. This paper shows that the primal tree presented by Lefebvre and Hoppe can solve all the problems above. Also, this paper presents a three-dimensional primal tree traversal algorithm based the Morton codes which will help to parallelize the primal tree method.

Visualizing a volume dataset with ray-casting which of visualization methods provides high quality image. However it spends too much time for rendering because the size of volume data are huge. Recently, various researches have been proposed to accelerate GPU-based volume rendering to solve these problems. In this paper, we propose an efficient GPU-based empty space skipping to accelerate volume ray-casting using octree traversal. This method creates min-max octree and searches empty space using vertex splitting. It minimizes the bounding polyhedron by eliminating empty space found in the octree traveral step. The rendering results of our method are identical to those of previous GPU-based volume ray-casting, with the advantage of faster run-time because of using minimized bounding polyhedron.

This paper proposes an efficient collision detection method in the dynamic spatial subdivisions for the MMORPG engine which requires realtime interactions. An octree is a suitable structure for static scenes or terrain processing. An octree spatial subdivision enhances rendering speed of scenes. Current spatial subdivisions tend to be highly optimized for efficient traversal, but are difficult to update quickly for a changing geometry. When an object moves to the outside extent for the spatial subdivisions, the acceleration structure would normally have to be rebuilt. The OSP based on a tree is used to divide dynamically wide outside which is the subject of 3D MMORPG. TBV does not reconstruct all tree nodes of OSP and has reduced rebuilding times by TBV information of a target node. A collision detection is restricted to those objects contained in the visibility range of sight by using the information established in TBV. We applied the HBV and ray tracing for an efficient collision detection.
