Methods and systems for data representing objects at different distances from a virtual vantage point

Abstract:

An illustrative multiscale data system determines a first distance between a first object in a scene and a virtual vantage point at the scene. The multiscale data system also determines a second distance between a second object in the scene and the virtual vantage point. In an example in which the second distance is greater than the first distance, the multiscale data system generates, based on the first and second distances, a tiled representation associated with the virtual vantage point. The tiled representation in this example includes a first representation of the first object rendered at a first quality level and a second representation of the second object rendered at a second quality level lower than the first quality level. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
