Multiresolution Maximum Intensity Volume Rendering by Morphological Pyramids
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a multiresolution representation for maximum intensity projection (MIP) volume rendering, based on morphological pyramids which allow progressive refinement and have the property of perfect reconstruction. The pyramidal analysis and synthesis operators are composed of morphological erosion and dilation, combined with dyadic downsampling for analysis and dyadic upsampling for synthesis. The structure of the multiresolution MIP representation is very similar to wavelet splatting, the main differences being that (i) linear summation of voxel values is replaced by maximum computation, and (ii) linear wavelet filters are replaced by (nonlinear) morphological filters.

We describe a multiresolution extension to maximum intensity projection (MIP) volume rendering, allowing progressive refinement and perfect reconstruction. The method makes use of morphological adjunction pyramids. The pyramidal analysis and synthesis operators are composed of morphological 3-D erosion and dilation, combined with dyadic downsampling for analysis and dyadic upsampling for synthe...
متن کاملMultiresolution MIP Rendering of Large Volumetric Data Accelerated on Graphics Hardware
This paper is concerned with a multiresolution representation for maximum intensity projection (MIP) volume rendering based on morphological pyramids which allows progressive refinement. We consider two algorithms for progressive rendering from the morphological pyramid: one which projects detail coefficients level by level, and a second one, called streaming MIP, which resorts the detail coeff...
متن کاملA New Class of Morphological Pyramids for Multiresolution Image Analysis
We study nonlinear multiresolution signal decomposition based on morphological pyramids. Motivated by a problem arising in multiresolution volume visualization, we introduce a new class of morphological pyramids. In this class the pyramidal synthesis operator always has the same form, i.e. a dilation by a structuring element A, preceded by upsampling, while the pyramidal analysis operator is a ...
متن کاملNonlinear multiresolution signal decomposition schemes. I. Morphological pyramids
Interest in multiresolution techniques for signal processing and analysis is increasing steadily. An important instance of such a technique is the so-called pyramid decomposition scheme. This paper presents a general theory for constructing linear as well as nonlinear pyramid decomposition schemes for signal analysis and synthesis. The proposed theory is based on the following ingredients: 1) t...
