Improving the visual realism of virtual surgery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we focus our attention on improving the visual realism of virtual surgery. A synthetic solution by innovative use of various image-based rendering methods is presented for realistic rendering of virtual surgery scenes. We have, for the first time, developed a methodology for generating virtual surgery scenes with realistic glistening effects by a combination of various image-based rendering techniques, including image mosaicing and view-dependent texture mapping. Realistic examples are presented to showcase the results.

An Investigation of Presence Response across Variations in Visual Realism
This paper describes reports on the results of an experiment designed to study the impact of realism on the reported presence in an immersive virtual environment. An experiment was carried out with 40 participants who were asked to walk through a virtual street, which had virtual characters walking through it. Two factors were varied – texture quality (2 levels) and virtual character realism (2...
متن کاملNavigating through Virtual Environments: Visual Realism Improves Spatial Cognition
Recent advances in computer technology have significantly facilitated the use of virtual environments (VE) for small and medium enterprises (SME). However, achieving visual realism in such VE requires high investments in terms of time and effort, while its usefulness has not yet become apparent from research. Other qualities of VE, such as the use of large displays, proved its effectiveness in ...

We describe the implementation of irrigation and blood simulation using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in a cranial base surgical simulator. Graphical accuracy of virtual surgery is a significant goal for improving the realism and immersive experience of computerized training environments. For temporal bone micro-surgery fluids contribute not only to the visual integrity of the surgical ...
متن کاملLife-Sized Audiovisual Spatial Social Scenes with Multiple Characters: MARC & SMART-I2
With the increasing use of virtual characters in virtual and mixed reality settings, the coordination of realism in audiovisual rendering and expressive virtual characters becomes a key issue. In this paper we introduce a new system combining two systems for tackling the issue of realism and high quality in audiovisual rendering and life-sized expressive characters. The goal of the resulting SM...
