Volume Rendering in an Optical Tracking based Virtual Environment

چکیده
In the last five-eight years the three dimensional displaying come into focus again. When it is amended by a tracking system it is called mixed reality. This paper presents a mixed reality environment (its hardware and software elements) developed by us on the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Our system uses a dual projector stereo display for three dimensional visualization and a computer-vision based tracking system. The hardware configuration consists of two projectors, polar filters, video cameras, cheap passive coloured markers and an average PC. Volumetric data visualization in a virtual environment has several benefits. It decreases the depth information loss caused by the 3D→ 2D projection, tracked tools can affect many properties of the visualization, that can be set or modify using the classic keyboard, mouse input in a difficult way. The final goal of this project is to improve this virtual environment with general tracking therefore it can be used for augmented reality applications.

Remote Collaboration Using Augmented Reality Videoconferencing
This paper describes an Augmented Reality Videoconferencing System, which is a novel remote collaboration tool combining a desktop-based AR system and a videoconference module. The novelty of our system is the combination of these tools with AR applications superimposed on live video background displaying the conference parties’ real environment, merging the advantages of the natural face-to-fa...
متن کاملExtended Abstract: Remote Volume Rendering for Virtual Environments using PC Clusters
The volume rendering software which we are using is based on a perspective version of the shear-warp algorithm. The shear-warp algorithm for parallel projection is described in [1], its extension for perspective projection and important improvements for virtual environments are described in our paper [3]. The remote rendering algorithm is an MPI parallelized version of the single processor pers...
متن کاملTarget Tracking Based on Virtual Grid in Wireless Sensor Networks
One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...
متن کاملUser-friendly Environment for Virtual Endoscopy
Virtual endoscopy has recently arisen as a powerful diagnostic tool for examining the interior structures of bronchus, colon, and etc. In contrast to optical endoscopy that is invasive, virtual endoscopy is non-invasive and thus it is comfortable to patients. In addition, while the optical endoscopy enables observers to examine the hollow structures in the direction that the camera moves, the v...
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 ...
