Volume Visualization and Volume Rendering Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a wide range of devices and scientific simulation generating volumetric data. Visualizing such data, ranging from regular data sets to scattered data, is a challenging task. This course will give an introduction to the volume rendering transport theory and the involved issues such as interpolation, illumination, classification and others. Different volume rendering techniques will be presented illustrating their fundamental features and differences as well as their limitations. Furthermore, acceleration techniques will be presented including pure software optimizations as well as utilizing special purpose hardware as VolumePro but also dedicated hardware such as polygon graphics subsystems.

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 کاملDistributed Volume Raycasting on Maspar Mp-i in an Integrated Environment
KEYWORDS Graphics Distributed processors Multiprocessors Interactive ABSTRACT Volume rendering is an important tool in scientiic visualiza-tion. However, due to the fact that it is computational very expensive, applications on standard workstations are not capable of providing interactive frame rates. These are essential to understand the three dimensional nature of the data. Standard visualiza...
