Multiple ray cluster rendering for interactive integral imaging system

Cluster-Based Interactive Volume Rendering with Simian

Commodity-based computer clusters offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional largescale, tightly coupled computers as a means to provide high-performance computational and visualization services. The Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions (C-SAFE) at the University of Utah employs such a cluster, and we have begun to experiment with cluster-based visualization servi...

Interactive Rendering with Coherent Ray Tracing

For almost two decades researchers have argued that ray tracing will eventually become faster than the rasterization technique that completely dominates todays graphics hardware. However, this has not happened yet. Ray tracing is still exclusively being used for off-line rendering of photorealistic images and it is commonly believed that ray tracing is simply too costly to ever challenge raster...

Interactive Volume Rendering with Ray Tracing

Recent research on high-performance ray tracing has achieved real-time performance even for highly complex surface models already on a single PC. In this report we provide an overview of techniques for extending real-time ray tracing also to interactive volume rendering. We review fast rendering techniques for different volume representations and rendering modes in a variety of computing enviro...

Incremental Volume Rendering Algorithm for Interactive 3D Ultrasound Imaging

Arbitrary Viewpoint Rendering from Multiple Omnidirectional Images for Interactive Walkthroughs

Fig.1 Arbitrary novel viewpoint and multiple positions of omnidirectional camera. Recently, the interactive walkthrough which enables us to look around a virtualized real world has been widely investigated. The walkthrough system can be applied to simulation, telepresence, and so on. This paper describes a method of interactive walkthrough which takes a real scene and enables us to look around ...
