Efficient Hardware Voxelization

This paper presentes a novel algorithm for the voxelization of surface models of arbitrary topology. Our algorithm uses the depth and stencil buffers, available in most commercial graphics hardware, to achieve high performance. It is suitable for both polygonal meshes and parametric surfaces. Experiments highlight the advantages and limitations of our approach.
