Compressing Hexahedral Volume Meshes
Unstructured hexahedral volume meshes are of particular interest for visualization and simulation applications. They allow regular tiling of the three-dimensional space and show good numerical behaviour in finite element computations. Beside such appealing properties, volume meshes take huge amount of space when stored in a raw format. In this paper we present a technique for encoding connectiv...
متن کاملIncremental Slicing Revisited: Accelerated Volume Rendering Of Unstructured Meshes
We accelerate the incremental slicing method for near interactive volume rendering of unstructured grids with conventional polygon rendering hardware support. Our method uses less memory compared to the method of Yagel et al. [25], with significant improvements in rendering time. Using our method, a rendering performance gain of at least 400% was achieved for some datasets, e.g., the Blunt fin ...
متن کاملVolume Rendering of Time-Varying Scalar Fields on Unstructured Meshes
Volume Rendering of time-varying datasets is essential in several scientific applications. Due to the enormous amount of data involved, in datasets with static sampling regions it is common to consider only time-varying scalar fields (TVSFs). The use of Vector Quantization (VQ) to compress scalar fields has been shown to be quite effective when combined with texture-based volume rendering algor...
متن کاملValidating and generating curved unstructured hexahedral meshes
We present a new definition of distortion and quality measures for high-order hexahedral (quadrilateral) elements. This definition leads to two direct applications. First, it can be used to check the validity and quality [1] of a high-order hexahedral (quadrilateral) mesh. Second, it allows the generation of high-order curved meshes [2, 3, 4, 5] composed of valid and high-quality hexahedral (qu...
متن کاملBandwidth-efficient Hardware-Based Volume Rendering for Large Unstructured Meshes
Recent advances in graphics processor architecture and capabilities have made the development of fast and efficient unstructured volume rendering methods possible. These techniques can be classified into two roughly delimited categories: cell projection based methods and GPU raycasting algorithms. However, both approaches are subject to limitations, respectively due to the main memory-to-GPU ba...
