Dynamic View Dependent Isosurface Extraction

چکیده
We present a dynamic view-dependent isosurface extraction method. Our approach is based on the 3-stage approach we first suggested in WISE [15], i.e., front-to-back traversal, software pruning based on visibility and final rendering using the graphics hardware. In this work we re-examine the WISE method and similar view-dependent extraction methods, and propose modifications that accelerate the extraction time by a factor of 5 to 10. In particular we suggest using a bottom-up approach for rendering occluding triangles, replacing the traditional marching cubes triangulation with triangle fans and using point-based rendering for sub-pixel sections of the isosurface.

متن کاملNoise, Wise and Sage: Algorithms for Rapid Isosurface Generation
Exploratory scientific visualization is a valuable paradigm for understanding complex physical phenomena. When these phenomena have associated volumetric scalar fields, isosurface extraction is a critical tool. An isosurface is the set of points in which the scalar field has a particular value, the “isovalue.” The position of an isosurface, as well as its relation to other neighboring isosurfac...

Extracting only the visible portion of an isosurface can improve both the computation efficiency and the rendering speed. However, the visibility test overhead can be quite high for large scale data sets. In this paper, we present a view-dependent isosurface extraction algorithm utilizing occlusion query hardware to accelerate visible isosurface extraction. A spherical partition scheme is propo...

Scientific simulations and measurements often involve time dependent processes and produce time dependent data sets. Isosurface extraction is an important tool for visualizing three or twodimensional time varying scalar fields defined by such data. Nevertheless, the size of the data and the dynamic nature impose difficulty in devising efficient and effective time dependent isosurface extraction...
