Interactive Previewing for Transfer Function Specification in Volume Rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new technique for supplying meaningful visual feedback during direct volume rendering transfer function specification. The technique uses meta-data calculated during a pre-processing step to generate interactively an approximate volume rendering that is voxel-registered with a single user-selected slice. Because of the registration, this preview can easily be alpha-blended with a grey-scale image of the data that is being volume rendered. In this way, the user gets real-time visual feedback on her transfer function specification with regards to both the expected composited optical properties and the “fidelity” (how closely the rendering matches the original data) of the resulting rendering.

Interactive Volume Rendering based on a "Bubble Model"
In this paper an interactive volume rendering technique is presented which is based on a novel visualization model. We call the basic method “bubble model” since iso-surfaces are rendered as thin semi-transparent membranes similarly to blown soap bubbles. The primary goal is to develop a fast previewing technique for volumetric data which does not require a time-consuming transfer function spec...
متن کاملInteractive Transfer Function Specification for Direct Volume Rendering of Disparate Volumes
Transfer functions play a critical role in feature detection through direct volume rendering in volumetric scalar fields. Because of the inherent difficulties of exploratory visualization, assisting the user in transfer function specification is still an important area of research. In particular, the disparate nature of simulated and measured volumetric data necessitates more flexibility in the...
متن کاملMastering Transfer Function Specification by using VolumePro Technology
A new user-interface paradigm for the specification of transfer functions is presented. The specification is usually a difficult task as mapping information for a number of different domains (data range, color, opacity, etc.) has to be defined. In the presented approach, the definition of the mapping information can be realized independently for each property domain. A set of specification tool...
