Voxel Datacubes for 3D Visualization in Blender

Generalized 3D Voxel Image Synthesis Architecture for Volumetric Spatial Visualization

A general concept of 3D volumetric visualization systems is described based on 3D discrete voxel scenes (worlds) representation. Definitions of 3D discrete voxel scene (world) basic elements and main steps of the image synthesis algorithm are formulated. An algorithm for solving the problem of the voxelized world 3D image synthesis, intended for the systems of volumetric spatial visualization, ...

Blender for robotics and robotics for Blender

Computer animation and robotics have most of their mathematical foundations in common. So, Blender is a natural (but still undiscovered and imperfect) GUI candidate for robot simulation and programming. The robotics research community lacks an advanced graphical tool such as Blender, but, on the other hand, it has more advanced and efficient algorithms than Blender for the physically realistic ...

Medical Volume Visualization Beyond Single Voxel Values

Visualization of Large Rle-encoded Voxel Volumes

We present a method for visualizing large voxel volumes based on optimized ray-casting. Other than conventional methods casting a ray for each pixel on the screen, our method only casts one ray per column and then traverses the voxel volume in a front to back manner. This can be done efficiently as our data is encoded by run-length-encoding (RLE), reducing the overall cost for the traversal. To...

Searching the Optimal Threshold for Voxel Coloring in 3D Reconstruction

Voxel coloring is one of the well-known methods for reconstructing a 3D shape from 2D images. The conventional methods cause a trade-off problem between precision and stability, when they reconstruct 3D shapes. In this paper, we present a novel approach to solve the trade-off problems. This method searches the real surface voxel on comparing the photo-consistency of an inside voxel on the optic...
