Abstract: A three-dimensional visualization scheme for large-scale oblique photography model based on quad-tree structure is proposed. Firstly, the triangular mesh model is simplified by using half-edge collapse of quadratic error measure (QEM), and then these hierarchical simplified models are textured and blocked, each block is named using Morton encoding rule. Finally, the scene is organized according to the pyramid structure of LOD (multi-level hierarchical structure).We evaluated our visualization plan for large-scale 3D models with oblique photogrammetry technology on a dataset of a city. Experiment results show that the method can dynamically load the appropriate models according to the pixel size on the screen. It is demonstrated that the schema is effective and useful for realtime visualization of large-scale 3D models with oblique photogrammetry technology.

Key words: 3D Models with Oblique Photogrammetry Technology, mesh simplification, quad-tree, level of details
