Voxelisation: Modelling for Volume Graphics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Voxelisation is the term given to the process of converting data from one source type into a three dimensional volume of data values. The techniques known collectively as volume visualisation can then be applied to the data in order to produce a graphical representation of the object. This paper gives a new practical approach to the voxelisation of data which fills the entire volume. Its use is demonstrated on various datasets such as triangular mesh objects, CT data, and objects defined by trivariate functions.

Voxel-based Volume Modelling of Individual Trees Using Terrestrial Laser Scanners
Accurate modelling of individual trees is essential for forestry applications e.g. forestry inventory and biomass estimation. This paper aims to utilise Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) in order to derive a three dimensional (3D) tree structure and compute its volume. A new approach is proposed and tested to estimate the tree structure and leaf area using precise voxel-based tree models. In thi...
متن کاملAn Efficient Shadow Detection Algorithm and the Direct Surface Rendering Volume Visualisation Model
Research into volume graphics have lead us to new methods for the voxelisation of meshes and the ultra high quality rendering of volumetric data. Recently it has been reported by us [1] that our method of voxelisation and subsequent rendering can produce images faster than traditional ray tracing methods. In this paper we present in detail the Direct Surface Rendering algorithm and demonstrate ...

Distance fields are a widely investigated area within the area of Volume Graphics. Research is divided between applications; such as – skeletonisation, hypertexture, voxelisation, acceleration of rendering techniques, correlation and collision detection; and the fundamental algorithmic calculation of the distance fields. This paper concentrates on the latter by presenting a new method for calcu...

This paper concerns a new sub-field of computer graphics, namely volume graphics, which aims to develop voxel-based modelling and rendering techniques for general purpose graphics in addition to its original playing field, volume visualisation. Building upon our recent work on the modelling of graphics scenes composed of multiple volumetric datasets, we present three different algorithms for re...
متن کاملVolumes of Expression: Artistic Modelling and Rendering of Volume Datasets
This paper presents the design and implementation of artistic effects in modelling and rendering of volume datasets. Following different stages of a volume-based graphics pipeline, we examine various properties of volume data, and illustrate how expressive and non-photorealistic effects can be implemented. We demonstrate that the true 3D nature of volume data makes it particularly applicable fo...
