GPU-Based High-Quality Volume Rendering For Virtual Environments
In medicine the knowledge of relative placement and size of anatomical structures is indispensable, especially in surgery and treatment planning. Therefore, the visualization of medical data sets acquired by Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become more and more important because it offers a three dimensional view on the underlying data even of inner structures. ...
متن کاملCylindrical Approximation of Tubular Organs for Virtual Endoscopy
Virtual endoscopy is a promising medical application of volume visualization techniques. A virtual endoscopy system requires high quality and perspective projection rendering, as well as real-time navigation. In this paper the generation of a cylindrical structure for tubular shaped organs (i.e. colon, aorta) is presented. This structure represents an approximation of the real organ. The cylind...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Collaborative Volume Rendering Application in a Distributed Virtual Environment
In this paper, we present a collaborative volume rendering application which can be used in distributed virtual environments. The application allows the users to collaboratively view volumetric data and manipulate the transfer functions. Furthermore, 3D markers can be used to support communication. The collaborative setup includes a full duplex audio channel between the virtual environments. Th...
متن کاملLarge Scale Volume Rendering in Immersive Environments with Direct Manipulation Widgets Master’s Thesis Proposal
Direct volume rendering has proven to be an important visualization tool for inspecting the results of scientific simulations and bio-medical imaging techniques. Volume rendering allows each data element to contribute to the visualization. This allows an investigator to examine the spatial relationship of different materials, or data values, and the boundaries between them simultainiously. Rece...
متن کاملInteractive volume rendering in virtual environments
This dissertation is about the interactive visualization of volume data in virtual environments. Only data on regular grids will be discussed. Research was conducted on three major topics: visualization algorithms, user interfaces, and parallelization of the visualization algorithms. Because the shear-warp algorithm is a very fast CPU-based volume rendering algorithm, it was investigated how it...
