Real-Time Rendering of Teeth with No Preprocessing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a technique for real-time rendering of teeth with no need for computational or artistic preprocessing. Teeth constitute a translucent material consisting of several layers; a highly scattering material (dentine) beneath a semitransparent layer (enamel) with a transparent coating (saliva). In this study we examine how light interacts with this multilayered structure. In the past, rendering of teeth has mostly been done using image-based texturing or volumetric scans. We work with surface scans and have therefore developed a simple way of estimating layer thicknesses. We use scattering properties based on measurements reported in the optics literature, and we compare rendered results qualitatively to images of ceramic teeth created by denturists.

Unorthodox Change in the Angulation of an Impacted Mandibular Third Molar: A rare Case Report
Background: Third molars are the most frequently impacted teeth, and extensive research has been carried out delineating their impaction prevalence, classification, and treatment approaches. We present a rare case of an impacted mandibular third molar which went through unprecedented changes in angulation over an eight-year time span with no particular pathologic, traumatic, or therapeutic inte...
متن کاملReal-time out-of-core trimmed NURBS rendering and editing
For rendering purposes trimmed NURBS surfaces have to be converted into a polygonal representation. In order to fulfill the high quality visualization demands posed by various design and quality control applications, current NURBS rendering methods require a careful preparation of the converted models which often needs manual user intervention. This preprocessing step prevents the user from int...
متن کاملOn Making Light Maps Dynamic
This paper presents a real-time global illumination method for static scenes illuminated by arbitrary, dynamic light sources. The method consists of a preprocessing phase and a real-time rendering phase. The real-time rendering algorithm obtains the indirect illumination caused by the multiple scattering of the light from partial light paths that are precomputed and stored in the preprocessing ...
متن کاملReal-time adjustment of transfer function for Fourier volume rendering
Fourier volume rendering (FVR) is a volume rendering method based on the Fourier slice theorem. With an n × n × n volume data, the FVR algorithm requires O(n2 log n) time to generate a result. Because it requires time less than O(n3) does, FVR is preferred for designing a real-time rendering algorithm with a preprocessing step. We improve upon our previous work. We demonstrate that a B-spline i...
متن کاملLevel of Detail for Real-Time Volumetric Terrain Rendering
Terrain rendering is an important component of many GIS applications and simulators. Most methods rely on heightmap-based terrain which is simple to acquire and handle, but has limited capabilities for modeling features like caves, steep cliffs, or overhangs. In contrast, volumetric terrain models, e.g. based on isosurfaces can represent arbitrary topology. In this paper, we present a fast, pra...
