We propose a new mo{le] for Iepreseuting a liypersurface describing a scalar field in ally dimension at ,Iifferellt levels of detail.The model is based on a smluence of domain decompositions into simplicial complexes and integrates the modeling characteristics of simplicial complexes wit.11 tile versatility of a multilevel descriptiml.we I)leseIlt a (ha structure an(i algorithms for efficiently encoding a]k[l nmlli}>ulating such model The proposed (Iata structlwe is slwcifk for applications in which a "~loll-to~~ol{~gical" lelJlesrlltatioll is required.Such applications include vollunetric data visualization and geometric [Iuery processing.
