Interactive Volume Illustration and Feature Halos
نویسندگان
چکیده
Volume illustration is a developing trend in volume visualization, focused on conveying volume information effectively by enhancing interesting features of the volume and omitting insignificant data. However, the calculations involved have limited the illustration process to noninteractive rendering. We have developed a new interactive volume illustration system (IVIS) that harnesses the power of programmable graphics processors, and includes a novel approach for feature halo enhancement. This interactive illustration system is a powerful tool for exploration and analysis of volumetric datasets.

Simulating hand-drawn illustration can succinctly express information in a manner that is communicative and informative. We present a framework for an interactive direct stipple rendering of volume and surface-based objects. By combining the principles of artistic and scientific illustration, we explore several feature enhancement techniques to create effective, interactive visualizations of sc...
متن کاملInteraction-Dependent Semantics for Illustrative Volume Rendering
In traditional illustration the choice of appropriate styles and rendering techniques is guided by the intention of the artist. For illustrative volume visualizations it is difficult to specify the mapping between the 3D data and the visual representation that preserves the intention of the user. The semantic layers concept establishes this mapping with a linguistic formulation of rules that di...

Illustrative visualization aims to effectively communicate a specific information. In traditional illustration the choice of appropriate styles and rendering techniques is guided by the intention of the artist. For illustrative volume visualizations it is difficult to specify the mapping between the 3D data and the visual representation. We introduce a layer between data and visual appearance t...

متن کاملShape-aware Volume Illustration
We introduce a novel volume illustration technique for regularly sampled volume datasets. The fundamental difference between previous volume illustration algorithms and ours is that our results are shape-aware, as they depend not only on the rendering styles, but also the shape styles. We propose a new data structure that is derived from the input volume and consists of a distance volume and a ...
