GPU-Based Hierarchical Texture Decompression

J. Stachera and P. Rokita

We propose a hierarchical texture compression algorithm for real-time decompression on the GPU. Our algorithm is characterized by low computational complexity, random access and hierarchical structure which allow us to access first three levels of encoded mip-map pyramid. The hierarchical texture compression algorithm HiTCg is based on block-wise approach, where each block is subject to local fractal transform.
