GPU Based On-the-fly Light Emission-absorption Approximation for Direct Multi-volume Rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel on-the-fly scatter approximation scheme that can be applied concurrently to multiple volumetric datasets. We use a simplified version of the emission-absorption model, including single scattering and shadowing and guide the scatter sample positions and in-scatter coefficients by local gradients. This allows us to render multiple intersecting volumes with our rendering system with clearly visible improvements in rendering quality over local illumination models, while maintaining interactive frame-rates.

Real-time Novel-view Synthesis for Volume Rendering Using a Piecewise-analytic Representation
Novel-view synthesis can be used to hide latency in a real-time remote rendering setup, to increase frame rate or to produce advanced visual effects such as depth-of-field or motion blur in volumes or stereo and light field imagery. Regrettably, existing real-time solutions are limited to opaque surfaces. Prior art has circumvented the challenge by making volumes opaque i. e., projecting the vo...

For the visualization of three-dimensional data, whether scalar or vector, direct volume rendering has emerged as a leading, and often preferred, method. While surface rendering method can be applied to visualize volumetric data, they require the extraction of some structure, such as isosurfaces or streamlines, which may bias the resulting visualization. In rendering volumetric data directly, w...

We developed a direct volume rendering technique, that supports low latency real time visual feedback in parallel with physical simulation on commodity graphics platforms. In our approach, a fast approximation of the diffuse shading equation is computed on the fly by the graphics pipe-line directly from the scalar data. We do this by exploiting the possibilities offered by multi-texturing with ...
