Combining Silhouettes, Surface, and Volume Rendering for Surgery Education and Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a flexible combination of volume, surface, and line rendering. We employ object-based edge detection because this allows a flexible parametrization of the generated lines. Our techniques were developed mainly for medical applications using segmented patient-individual volume datasets. In addition, we present an evaluation of the generated visualizations with 8 medical professionals and 25 laypersons. Integration of lines in conventional rendering turned out to be appropriate.

Advanced GPU Volume Rendering for Virtual Endoscopy
For difficult cases in endoscopic sinus surgery, a careful planning of the intervention is necessary. Virtual endoscopy enables the visualization of the operating field and additional information, such as risk structures and target structures to be removed. The Sinus Endoscopy system provides the functional range of a virtual endoscopic system with special focus on a realistic representation. F...
متن کاملSimulating Surgery using Volumetric Object Representations, Real- Time Volume Rendering and Haptic Feedback
Surgical simulation has many applications in education and training, surgical planning, and intra-operative assistance. However, extending current surface-based computer graphics methods to model phenomena such as the deformation, cutting, tearing, or repairing of soft tissues pose significant challenges for real-time interactions. In this paper, the use of volumetric methods for modeling compl...
متن کاملOn Shadow Volume Silhouettes
In shadow volume rendering, the shadow volume silhouette edges are used to create primitives that model the shadow volume. A common misconception is that the vertices on such silhouettes can only be connected to two silhouette edges, i.e., have degree two. Furthermore, some believe that the degree of such a vertex can have any degree. In this short note, we present a geometric proof that shows ...
متن کاملObservations on Silhouette Sizes
Silhouettes have many applications in computer graphics such as non-photorealistic edge rendering, fur rendering, shadow volume creation, and anti-aliasing. The number of edges, s, in the silhouette of a model observed from a point is therefore useful in analyzing such algorithms. This paper examines, from a theoretical viewpoint, a menagerie of objects with interesting silhouettes (including t...
متن کاملAdvanced interactive medical visualization on the GPU
Interactive visual analysis of a patient’s anatomy by means of computer-generated 3D imagery is crucial for diagnosis, pre-operative planning, and surgical training. The task of visualization is no longer limited to producing images at interactive rates, but also includes the guided extraction of significant features to assist the user in the data exploration process. An effective visualization...
