Enclosure Sphere Based Cell Visibility for Virtual Endoscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual Endoscopy is an interactive exploration inside human organs to detect polyps by combining medical imaging and computer graphics technologies. In order to realize rendering acceleration, we present a novel two-steps visibility algorithm, Enclosure Sphere Based Cell Visibility (ESBCV), which performs visibility computation between cells assisted by Z-buffer in preprocessing and eye-to-cell visibility through a simple numerical calculation of the intersection of a circle with the rendered image in navigation. Experimental results demonstrated virtual navigation with high image quality and interactive rendering speed. CR

Visibility-driven Polygon Rendering for Interactive Virtual Colonoscopy
This paper describes an implementation of a surface based rendering algorithm used for virtual colonoscopy. The colon surface data is acquired by extracting a surface from computer tomography data sets. The connectivity meshes of the resulting triangles are reconstructed to determine which parts of the iso-surface belong to the colon. Further the colon is intersected into a number of pieces alo...
متن کاملSurface rendering-based virtual intraventricular endoscopy: retrospective feasibility study and comparison to volume rendering-based approach.
OBJECTIVE Virtual endoscopic simulations using volume rendering (VR) have been proposed as a tool for training and understanding intraventricular anatomy. It is not known whether surface rendering (SR), an alternative to VR, can visualize intraventricular and subependymal structures better and thus making the virtual endoscope more useful for simulating the intraventricular endoscopy. We sought...

متن کاملObjective evaluation of visibility in virtual chromoendoscopy for esophageal squamous carcinoma using a color difference formula.
Computed virtual chromoendoscopy with flexible spectral imaging color enhancement (FICE) is a new dyeless imaging technique that enhances mucosal and vascular patterns. However, a method for selecting a suitable wavelength for a particular condition has not been established. The aim of this study is to evaluate the color difference method for quality assessment of FICE images of the intrapapill...
متن کاملReal-time Enhancement, Registration, and Fusion for a Multi-Sensor Enhanced Vision System
Over the last few years NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) has been developing an Enhanced Vision System (EVS) to aid pilots while flying in poor visibility conditions. The EVS captures imagery using two infrared video cameras. The cameras are placed in an enclosure that is mounted and flown forward-looking underneath the NASA LaRC ARIES 757 aircraft. The data streams from the cameras are proc...
