چکیده
Here we describe the use of high-dynamic range lighting techniques to improve the rendering quality of real-time medical simulation systems. Specifically we show our method of extracting the lighting information from an actual endoscopic light probe used for surgery and how we apply this lighting information into a real-time rendering system based on OpenGL and using Shaders to improve the realism of the probe’s lighting in the scene; with the consideration that it is the only light source in the simulation.

Rendering HDR Images
Color imaging systems are continuously improving, and have now improved to the point of capturing high dynamic range scenes. Unfortunately most commercially available color display devices, such as CRTs and LCDs, are limited in their dynamic range. It is necessary to tone-map, or render, the high dynamic range images in order to display them onto a lower dynamic range device. This paper describ...
متن کاملApplications of Image Based Rendering in Lighting Simulation: Development and Evaluation of Image Based Sky Models
This paper demonstrates the use of High Dynamic Range (HDR) fisheye images of the sky dome in lighting simulations. The objective is to improve the accuracy of simulations with site specific sky conditions. The luminance information stored at a pixel level in an HDR photograph is used to light the simulated environment through an Image Based Rendering (IBR) technique. The results show that imag...
متن کاملAdaptive Windowing for Optimal Visualization of Medical Images Based on a Structural Fidelity Measure
Medical imaging devices often capture the raw data with high precision, producing high dynamic range (HDR) images. To visualize HDR images on regular displays, there has been an increasing number of tone mapping algorithms developed in recent years that convert HDR to low dynamic range (LDR) images. To visualize HDR medical images, a so-called “windowing” procedure is typically employed by whic...
متن کاملOptimization of an ultra-high-resolution rectangular pixelated parallel-hole collimator with a CZT pixelated semiconductor detector for HiRe-SPECT system
Introduction: In nuclear medicine, the use of a pixelated semiconductor detector such as CZT is an of growing interest for introducing new devices. Especially, the spatial resolution can be improved by using a pixelated parallel-hole collimator with equal holes and pixel sizes based on the pixelated detector. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of pixelated and ...
متن کاملCompression Method for High Dynamic Range Intensity to Improve SAR Image Visibility
It is possible to interpret the shape of buildings based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired using airborne SAR systems. However, the pixel values of SAR images have high dynamic range intensity, and SAR images are not displayable without dynamic range intensity compression. We therefore have developed a dynamic range intensity compression method suitable for SAR image features. U...
