  abstract =   "We present an algorithm to display enormous unprocessed
               point clouds at interactive rates without requiring long
               preprocessing. The novelty here is that we do not make any
               assumptions about sampling density or availability of normal
               vectors for the points. This is very important because such
               information is available only after lengthy postprocessing
               of scanned datasets, whereas users want to interact with the
               dataset immediately. Instant Points is an out-of-core
               algorithm that makes use of nested octrees and an enhanced
               version of sequential point trees.",
