Flexible Direct Multi-Volume Rendering in Dynamic Scenes

چکیده
In this paper we describe methods to efficiently visualize multiple intersecting volumetric objects. We introduce the concept of V-Objects. V-Objects represent abstract properties of an object connected to a volumetric data source. We present a method to perform direct volume rendering of a scene comprised of an arbitrary number of possibly intersecting V-Objects. The idea of our approach is to distinguish between regions of intersection, which need costly multi-volume processing, and regions containing only one V-Object, which can be processed using a highly efficient brick-wise volume traversal scheme. Using this method, we achieve significant performance gains for multi-volume rendering. We show possible medical applications, such as surgical planning, diagnosis, and education.

Direct Rendering Algorithms for Complex Volumetric Scenes
This paper concerns a new sub-field of computer graphics, namely volume graphics, which aims to develop voxel-based modelling and rendering techniques for general purpose graphics in addition to its original playing field, volume visualisation. Building upon our recent work on the modelling of graphics scenes composed of multiple volumetric datasets, we present three different algorithms for re...
متن کاملDynamic Scene Occlusion Culling
Large, complex 3D scenes are best rendered in an output-sensitive way, i.e., in time largely independent of the entire scene model’s complexity. Occlusion culling is one of the key techniques for output-sensitive rendering. We generalize existing occlusion culling algorithms, intended for static scenes, to handle dynamic scenes having numerous moving objects. The data structure used by an occlu...
متن کاملV-Objects: Flexible Direct Multi-Volume Rendering in Interactive Scenes
In this paper we describe methods to concurrently visualize and interact with multiple volumetric objects. We introduce the concept of V-Objects. V-Objects represent abstract properties of an object connected to a volumetric data source. The key to flexibility is the explicit separation of V-Objects and data sources. We present a method to perform direct volume rendering of a scene comprised of...
متن کاملRay Tracing using 3D Grid Simulations
Bounding Volume Hierarchies (BVHs) and k-d trees have been used to create interactive ray tracing. Ray tracing dynamic scenes using nVidia’s R © OptiX TM has already provided thirty to sixty frames per second or better. In this paper, we implement space partitioning methods, such as grid method and the proximity clouds (PCs), on multiple GPUs. Our motivation is to investigate the use of such me...

Abstract: A new technology called “Image-Based Modeling and Rendering (IBMR)” has been attracting much attention in the field of 3-D computer graphics. It aims to describe 3-D spatial data using a set of real images or light rays, while the structure data (shape and texture) is essential for traditional techniques. The authors proposed and developed a real time IBMR system in which all the proc...
