Wavelet Projections for Volume Rendering

چکیده
We extended Gross’s 3 method of volume wavelet rendering by computing splats via an orthogonal projection operator. The method decomposes the volume data into a wavelet pyramid representation in the spline domain. The splats of the basis functions are approximated on a multiresolution grid. Using least-squares approximation ensures the smallest possible error for a given sampling step size. The approximation error on the grid is derived as a function of the sampling step h. The choice of the appropriate wavelet space and spatial resolution at each step produces the smallest possible filters. Our approach reduces the number of computations and allows full control of the image quality. keywords: volume rendering, wavelet splat, approximation theory, multiresolution grid

Biorthogonal Wavelet Filters for Frequency Domain Volume Rendering
Rendering images from three-dimensional discrete data sets usually involves interpolation between samples. In terms of signal processing theory , common interpolation methods like trilinear and cubic interpolation are equivalent to the convolution of the sampled data with a suitably chosen reconstruction lter. Frequency domain volume rendering is a technique based on the Fourier projection-slic...

We describe a wavelet based X-ray rendering method in the frequency domain with a smaller time complexity than wavelet splatting. Standard Fourier volume rendering is summarized and interpolation and accuracy issues are briefly discussed. We review the implementation of the fast wavelet transform in the frequency domain. The wavelet X-ray transform is derived, and the corresponding Fourier-wave...

متن کاملA new method to approximate the volume-rendering equation using wavelet bases and piecewise polynomials
In the following paper we describe a new generic method to find an approximate solution for the volume rendering equation using hierarchical, orthonormal wavelet basis functions. The approach is based on the idea that an initial volume data set can be decomposed into a pyramidal representation by means of a 3D wavelet transform. Once the wavelet function is described analytically, it is possibl...
