Preserving Data While Rendering
نویسنده
چکیده
The fundamental premise of visualization is that a useful correspondence between pixels and data can be built. However, visualization programs rarely operate at the pixel level. Instead of the discrete, finite space of pixels, the most common visualization models work with canvases of floating-point coordinates and geometric shapes. Preserving some source data link all the way down to the pixel level provides many opportunities for improving visualization. This paper describes Abstract Rendering (AR), a framework that preserves the data-to-pixel link. Using this pixel-level link, AR is used to provide a unique control over the final visual representation of data sets at all scales and from a variety of visualization technique families.

Illustrative Context-Preserving Volume Rendering
In volume rendering it is very difficult to simultaneously visualize interior and exterior structures while preserving clear shape cues. Very transparent transfer functions produce cluttered images with many overlapping structures, while clipping techniques completely remove possibly important context information. In this paper we present a new model for volume rendering, inspired by techniques...

We present a technique for adaptive load balancing for ray traced volume rendering on distributed memory machines using hierarchical representation of volume data. Our approach partitions the image onto processors while preserving scanline coherence. Volume data is assumed replicated on each processor since our focus in this paper is to characterize computation and communication requirements fo...
متن کاملInteractive Visualization of Particle Beams for Accelerator Design
We describe a hybrid data-representation and rendering technique for visualizing large-scale particle data generated from numerical modeling of beam dynamics. The basis of the technique is mixing volume rendering and point rendering according to particle density distribution, visibility, and the user’s instruction. A hierarchical representation of the data is created on a parallel computer, all...
متن کاملExploiting Spatial Redundancy with Adaptive Pyramidal Rendering
Just as image data compression is designed to save space while preserving the essence of an image, we present an adaptive pyramidal rendering scheme designed to save rendering time while maintaining acceptable image quality. Our coarse-to-fine scheme predicts when and where it is safe to take less than one sample per output pixel, and exploits spatial redundancy to predict pixel colors in the r...

We present a complete processing line to enhance large Remote Sensing (RS) image databases in the framework of real-time 3D rendering. RS and Virtual Reality communities are faced to several challenges to deal in real-time with large image datasets while preserving high quality and realistic rendering. There is an increasing interest of InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data, due...
