Transfer Functions on a Logarithmic Scale for Volume Rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Manual opacity transfer function editing for volume rendering can be a difficult and counter-intuitive process. This paper proposes a logarithmically scaled editor, and argues that such a scale relates the height of the transfer function to the rendered intensity of a region of particular density in the volume almost directly, resulting in much improved, simpler manual transfer function editing.

Segmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...
متن کاملPre-Integrated Volume Rendering for Multi-Dimensional Transfer Functions
This work presents an efficient extension of pre-integrated volume rendering for multi-dimensional transfer functions. Since even two-dimensional transfer functions can result in strong rendering artifacts that cannot be resolved by standard ray casting, we propose a space-covering volume sampling scheme that does not require additional samples of the volume data. Based on this sampling scheme,...
متن کاملClosed-Form Approximations to the Volume Rendering Integral with Gaussian Transfer Functions
In direct volume rendering, transfer functions map data points to optical properties such as color and opacity. We have found transfer functions based on the Gaussian primitive to be particularly useful for multivariate volumes, because they are simple and rely on a limited number of free parameters. We show how this class of transfer function primitives can be analytically integrated over a li...
متن کاملTransfer Functions in Direct Volume Rendering: Design, Interface, Interaction
A principle of direct volume rendering is that visualizations can be created without creating intermediate geometric structure, such as polygons comprising an isosurface, but simply by a “direct” mapping from volume data points to composited image elements. Together with traditional computer graphics elements such as camera, lighting, and shading, the central ingredient in that direct mapping i...
متن کاملDistance Transfer Function Based Rendering
Transfer functions are fundamentals for direct volume rendering to visualize object through mapping optical properties to the voxel data values. One aspect of direct volume rendering which has received no attention in transfer function design is the use of voxel position in transfer functions. Often, there are features of interest in volume data that are visualized or not depending on their vox...
