چکیده
Recent developments in ray tracing algorithms have shown that interactive high-quality volume rendering is no longer unreachable even for softwarebased implementations. Compared to graphics board and custom hardware implementations they offer additional benefits, e.g. support for large models and for integration with different types of data set topologies. This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art in ray tracing based volume rendering algorithms. Comparisons to current GPU implementations show strengths and drawbacks of different approaches.

متن کاملSegmentation 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 کاملEfficient Ray Tracing of Parametric Surfaces for Advanced Effects
Ray Tracing is one of the most important rendering techniques used in computer graphics. Ray traced images are more accurate and photo-realistic as compared to direct rendering. Ray Tracing was earlier considered impractical for rendering scenes at interactive rates because of its high computational cost. However, with the advancements in modern Graphics Processing Units (GPU) and CPUs, ray tra...

متن کاملStackless Multi-BVH Traversal for CPU, MIC and GPU Ray Tracing
Stackless traversal algorithms for ray tracing acceleration structures require significantly less storage per ray than ordinary stack-based ones. This advantage is important for massively parallel rendering methods, where there are many rays in flight. On SIMD architectures, a commonly used acceleration structure is the multi bounding volume hierarchy (MBVH), which has multiple bounding boxes p...
