Mirror Stereoscopic Display for Direct Volume Rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new mirror stereoscopic display for Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is presented. The stereoscopic display system is composed of one monitor and one acrylic first surface mirror. The mirror reflects one image for one of the eyes. The geometrical transformations to compute correctly the stereo pair is presented and is the core of this paper. System considerations such as mirror placement and implications are also discussed. In contrast to other similar solutions, we do not use two monitors, but just one. Consequently one of the images needs to be skewed. Advantages of the system include absence of ghosting and of flickering. We also developed the rendering engine for DVR of volumetric datasets mostly for medical imaging visualization. The skewing process in this case is integrated into the ray casting of DVR. Using geometrical transformations, we can compute precisely the directions of the rays, producing accurate stereo pairs.

Stereoscopic Volume Rendering
In this paper we describe the extension of a parallel, distributed, direct volume renderer for use with a novel auto-stereoscopic display. We begin by briefly describing the target application of our research, radiation therapy planning, why we believe that stereoscopic viewing may be helpful for this, and the design of our DVR system. We then report on some of the problems we have encountered,...

متن کاملSingle-pass Multi-view Volume Rendering
In this paper, we introduce a new direct volume rendering (DVR) algorithm for multi-view auto-stereoscopic displays. Common multi-view methods perform multi-pass rendering (one pass for each view) and subsequent image compositing and masking for generating multiple views. The rendering time increases therefore linearly with the number of views, but sufficient frame-rates are achieved by sub-res...
متن کاملSegmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...

A novel stereoscopic image rendering method for autostereoscopic mobile devices is presented in this paper. The system to implement the proposed method consists of autostereoscopic display system and the stereoscopic rendering software engine for mobile devices. First, we mount a parallax barrier, which is made by a twisted nematic (TN) panel, on the liquid crystal display (LCD) to display ster...
