Illumination-Driven Opacity Modulation for Expressive Volume Rendering
Using classical volume visualization, typically a couple of isosurface layers are rendered semi-transparently to show the internal structures contained in the data. However, the opacity transfer function is often difficult to specify such that all the isosurfaces are of high contrast and sufficiently perceivable. In this paper, we propose a volumerendering technique which ensures that the diffe...
متن کاملFeature Enhancement using Locally Adaptive Volume Rendering
Classical direct volume rendering techniques accumulate color and opacity contributions using the standard volume rendering equation approximated by alpha blending. However, such standard rendering techniques, often also aiming at visual realism, are not always adequate for efficient data exploration, especially when large opaque areas are present in a dataset, since such areas can occlude impo...
متن کاملOpacity Peeling for Direct Volume Rendering
The most important technique to visualize 3D scalar data, as they arise e.g. in medicine from tomographic measurement, is direct volume rendering. A transfer function maps the scalar values to optical properties which are used to solve the integral of light transport in participating media. Many medical data sets, especially MRI data, however, are difficult to visualize due to different tissue ...
متن کاملPer-pixel Rendering of Terrain Data
This paper presents a novel approach to terrain rendering, which mostly relies on GPU/shader rather than CPU. The most popular representation for terrain data is uniformly sampled height field. As the height field is stored as a texture map, it is directly accessible by a pixel shader. The pixel shader uses a ray casting algorithm, and the CPU and the vertex shader provide ray information to be...
متن کاملEfficient opacity specification based on feature visibilities in direct volume rendering
Due to 3D occlusion, the specification of proper opacities in direct volume rendering is a time-consuming and unintuitive process. The visibility histograms introduced by Correa and Ma reflect the effect of occlusion by measuring the influence of each sample in the histogram to the rendered image. However, the visibility is defined on individual samples, while volume exploration focuses on conv...
