The application areas are hierarchical radiosity, adaptive ray-tracing, selection of best viewpoints, object and scene exploration, mesh saliency, mesh simplification and scientific visualization. We also give some hints on information-theoretic applications to object recognition and image processing.10.2312/egt.20071067625-704
