Abstract:
1. A method of determining level of detail parameters for a selection of at least one of a plurality of versions of an object, the object being representable in an image, and the method comprising: generating a plurality of image sequences, wherein each of the plurality of image sequences is an image sequence corresponding with a particular version of the object from among the plurality of versions of the object, and wherein an image sequence of the plurality of image sequences comprises images that are a view of the version of the object associated with that image sequence and a level of detail parameter value corresponding to that image sequence; presenting the plurality of image sequences to a user; accepting, from the user, an indication of one or more sequence transition points, wherein a sequence transition point corresponds to a position within one or more sequences that is a user-selected point of transition between one image sequence and another image sequence; and converting at least one of the indications of one or more sequence transition points to a level of detail parameter, wherein the level of detail parameter corresponds to a sequence transition point, thereby defining a desired transition between one version of the object and another version of the object, wherein the level of detail parameter values are adapted to be used to select at least one of the plurality of versions of the object.
