Three-dimensional computer graphics of the larynx. Part 2.

Three-dimensional computer graphics architecture

Three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics hardware has emerged as an integral part of mainstream desktop PC systems. The aim of this paper is to describe the 3D graphics architecture at a level accessible to the general computational science community. We start with the generic 3D graphics rendering algorithm, the computational requirements of each of its steps, and the basic architectural featu...

Holographic Stereograms : Three Dimensional Artwork from Computer Graphics

The goal of this thesis is to explore methods for the creation of computer generated holographic stereograms, concentrating on their potential as artwork. There is a need for strong images in this relatively unexplored medium, in which computer graphics and holography complement each other. The primary emphasis is on strong design incorporating graphical elements that enhance the three dimensio...

Three-dimensional range data compression using computer graphics rendering pipeline.

This paper presents the idea of naturally encoding three-dimensional (3D) range data into regular two-dimensional (2D) images utilizing computer graphics rendering pipeline. The computer graphics pipeline provides a means to sample 3D geometry data into regular 2D images, and also to retrieve the depth information for each sampled pixel. The depth information for each pixel is further encoded i...

An Image-based Approach to Three-dimensional Computer Graphics

Three-dimensional educational computer model of the larynx: voicing a new direction.

OBJECTIVES To create a 3-dimensional (3D) educational computer model of the larynx, to assess the feasibility of this learning module on a Web-based platform, and to obtain student feedback on the module. DESIGN Male and female adult cadaveric necks were scanned with microcomputed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scanners. Key structures were identified on each slice of the computed...
