From the reviews: "This work ... introduce the first end-to-end multiresolution dataflow strategy that can effectively combine the top performing subdivision-surface wavelet compression and view-dependent optimization methods, thus increasing efficiency by several orders of magnitude over conventional processing pipelines. ... Overall, this is the first effort to exploit semi-structured surface representations for a complete large-data visualization pipeline." (Wordtrade, July, 2008)
