Visualization of Seismic Wave Data by Volume Rendering and its Application to an Interactive Query Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the Queryball model, which is a new style interaction model for a 3D visualization system. Queryball, which is a translucent ball, has search conditions, and two types of display methods. By locating a Queryball on the region of interest, users can observe just the objects they are interested in with emphasizing them and having other objects disappear. Users can change the region of interest by changing the area specification of the Queryball interactively. Although Queryball is useful for interactive analyze of various kinds of data, we need to consider and provide various usage of Queryball. In this paper, as the first step for providing such examples, we visualize seismic wave data and the underground structure of the earth. We apply some Queryballs to the results which are obtained by a volume rendering technique and an appropriate transfer function by examining the data distribution.

Segmentation 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 ...
متن کاملAdvanced Volume Visualization Techniques for Seismic Interpretation
In the past ten years, volume rendering tools have been progressively adopted by the geophysical community. The emergence of high-end graphics workstations with 3D texture capabilities made real-time volume rendering possible. Many interactive volume rendering packages are now available for seismic interpretation. However, interpretation is still mostly done in 2D. This is mainly due to the hig...

متن کاملAn interactive visualization and navigation tool for medical volume data
Interactive direct volume rendering by hardware assisted 3D texture mapping has become a powerful visualization method in many different fields. However, to make this technique fully practicable convenient visualization options and data analysis tools have to be integrated. For example, direct rendering of semi-transparent volume objects with integrated display of lighted iso-surfaces is one im...
