P‐12.6: Investigation of Volumetric Three‐Dimensional Display Technologies

Skeletonization of volumetric angiograms for display.

The display of three-dimensional angiograms can benefit from the knowledge of quantitative shape features such as tangent and curvature of the centerline of vessels. These can be obtained from a curve-like skeleton representation. If connectivity and topology are preserved, and if geometrical constraints such as smoothness and centeredness are satisfied, it is possible to estimate length, orien...

Fast Volumetric Display of Natural Gaseous Phenomena

Mesh simplification algorithms play an important role in computer graphics. In particular, view-dependent simplification methods are utilized widely to reduce the geometric complexity of large outdoor scenes. The so called continuous level of detail technique, for instance, is prevalent in the area of terrain rendering. In this paper we apply the latter technique to the more general volumetric ...

Display Technology: Stereo & 3D Display Technologies

Recently there have been rapid advancements in 3D techniques and technologies. Hardware has both improved and become considerably cheaper, making real-time and interactive 3D available to the hobbyist, as well as to the researcher. There have been major studies in such areas as molecular modeling, photogrammetry, flight simulation, CAD, visualization of multidimensional data, medical imaging, t...

A Volumetric Display using VFD, and A Display Data Generator

Volumetric displays, which directly draw 3D images in the real 3D space, are expected to be used not only in science but also in art. However, most of these displays need complex and expensive optical systems, so they are rarely used in art. In this paper, we propose and describe a volumetric display that has no such optical systems and can be easily constructed using parts on the market. In th...
