An octree is said to be complete if every internal node is either a leaf node or has exactly 8 children. It is sufficient to store the complete list of leaf nodes of a complete octree. All the internal nodes of the octree can be generated from the list of leaf nodes. Space filling curves are often used to represent linear octrees.
