ROAM Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
ROAM
ROAM, or Real Time Optimally Adapting Mesh, is a continuous level of detail algorithm that optimizes terrain meshes. On modern computers, sometimes it is more effective to send a small amount of unneeded polygons to the GPU, rather than burden the CPU with LOD calculations -- making algorithms like geomipmapping more effective than ROAM.
