چکیده
This paper is a survey of volume visualization. It includes an introduction to volumetric data; surface rendering techniques for volume data; volume rendering techniques, including image-order, objectorder, and domain techniques; optimization methods for volume rendering; special-purpose volume rendering hardware; global illumination of volumetric data, including volumetric ray tracing and volumetric radiosity; irregular grid rendering; and volume graphics, with several volume modeling techniques, such as voxelization, texture mapping, amorphous phenomena, block operations, constructive solid modeling, and volume sculpting.

A new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...

quires routine analysis of large 3D (or even higher) data sets. Often, complex geometry is an integral component of the problem’s complexity, so it is only natural to apply 3D visual analysis in combination with more traditional analysis and diagnostic techniques. Recent advances in computer technology have pushed conventional desktop computers to the point where scientific visualization is fea...

Rapid advances in hardware have been transforming revolutionary approaches in computer graphics into reality. One typical example is the raster graphics that took place in the seventies, when hardware innovations enabled the transition from vector graphics to raster graphics. Another example which has a similar potential is currently shaping up in the field of volume graphics. This trend is roo...
