Interpolating and Downsampling RGBA Volume Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
For about twenty years the standard color sampling method for RGBA volume data has been the interpolation of opacity-weighted colors. In this work, we discuss the underlying approximations and derive an improved sampling method, which avoids some of these approximations. With the help of several examples and experiments we demonstrate that our new technique is in fact preferable for direct volume rendering of RGBA data. Moreover, we show that the same improvement can be applied to downsampling filters. Finally, we propose a procedure to design improved downsampling filters for the generation of pyramid RGBA volume data such as mipmap volume textures.

Topology-Guided Downsampling
We present a new downsampling method for structured volume grids, which preserves much more of the topology of a scalar field than existing downsampling methods by preferably selecting scalar values of critical points. In particular, many critical points can be preserved which are lost by traditional downsampling methods. Our method is named “topology-guided downsampling” as topology-preserving...
متن کاملFeature-Preserving Downsampling for Medical Images
In the medical imaging field, interactive direct volume rendering of large volume datasets is a challenging task. Multi-resolution techniques deal with this problem by downsampling the original dataset to produce coarser representations. We present an evaluation of different downsampling filters with respect to their effectiveness at preserving details of the original dataset. Moreover, we prop...
متن کاملGPU-Based 3D Cone-Beam CT Image Reconstruction for Large Data Volume
Currently, 3D cone-beam CT image reconstruction speed is still a severe limitation for clinical application. The computational power of modern graphics processing units (GPUs) has been harnessed to provide impressive acceleration of 3D volume image reconstruction. For extra large data volume exceeding the physical graphic memory of GPU, a straightforward compromise is to divide data volume into...
متن کاملInterpolating time series based on fuzzy cluster analysis problem
This study proposes the model for interpolating time series to use them to forecast effectively for future. This model is established based on the improved fuzzy clustering analysis problem, which is implemented by the Matlab procedure. The proposed model is illustrated by a data set and tested for many other datasets, especially for 3003 series in M3-Competition data. Comparing to the exist...
متن کاملftc - Floating Precision Texture Compression
This paper presents new fixed-rate texture compression systems for RGB and RGBA images, which use variable precision differential encoding for the color codewords, resulting in reduced compression artifacts, in particular for smooth color variations. Experiments using hundreds of textures show that they achieve higher quality than the commonly used S3TC at the same compression ratio or (for RGB...
