Does anyone have experience with the following algorithm:

"A Visible Polygon Reconstruction Algorithm"
Stuart Sechrest and Donald Greenberg
Cornell University
ACM Transactions on Graphics
Vol. 1 No. 1
January 1982

They describe a method of projecting a 3D solid object described by
planar polygons into 2D, and then reconstructing the 2D image in terms
of planar polygons. The algorithm works at object resolution. 

I am interested in implementing the above algorithm or similar ones
that work on solid objects in object space. 

E-mail addresses to the original authors are desired.

Ken
