Architectures for real-time volume rendering
Over the last decade, volume rendering has become an invaluable visualization technique for a wide variety of applications. This paper reviews three special-purpose architectures for interactive volume rendering: texture mapping, VIRIM, and VolumePro. Commercial implementations of these architectures are available or underway. The discussion of each architecture will focus on the algorithm, sys...
متن کاملReal-time volume rendering
We present Cube-4, a special-purpose volume rendering architecture that is capable of rendering high-resolution (e.g., 10243) datasets at 30 frames per second. The underlying algorithm, called slice-parallel ray-casting, uses tri-linear interpolation of samples between data slices for parallel and perspective projections. The architecture uses a distributed interleaved memory, several parallel ...
متن کاملTowards Real Time Volume Rendering
The task of real time rendering of today’s volumetric datasets is still being tackled by several research groups. A quick calculation of the amount of computation required for real-time rendering of a high resolution volume puts us in the teraflop range. Yet, the demand to support such rendering capabilities is increasing due to emerging technologies such as virtual surgery simulation and rapid...
متن کاملReal-Time Programmable Volume Rendering
Real-time graphics hardware is rapidly becoming programmable, and has recently incorporated the features needed for direct volume rendering. Unfortunately, the standard interfaces to this hardware are at the assembly language level. When programming at this level, it is difficult re-use and modify existing implementations of volume rendering algorithms, and it is extremely tedious to experiment...
متن کاملReal-Time Volume Rendering for Virtual Colonoscopy
We present a volume rendering system that is capable of generating high-quality images of large volumetric data (e.g., 512) in real time (30 frames or more per second). The system is particularly suitable for applications that generate densely occluded scenes of large data sets, such as virtual colonoscopy. The central idea is to divide the volume into sets of axis-aligned slabs. The union of t...
