Latency- and Hazard-Free Volume Memory Ar­ chitecture for Direct Volume Rendering

In each of both parts hardware accelerated graphics operations are used thus allowing interactive, high quality rendering and analysis of large-scale volume data

Splatting is an object-order (i.e. forward projection) direct volume rendering method that treats an N-dimensional sam- pled volume as a grid of overlapping N-dimensional

We present a technique to extract regions from a volumetric dataset without introducing any aliasing so that the extracted volume can be explored using direct volume

Figure 4 shows the tooth data set rendered with gradient- magnitude opacity-modulation, direct volume rendering us- ing a clipping plane, and context-preserving volume render- ing

Parallel volume rendering is one of the most efficient techniques to achieve real time visualization of large datasets by distributing the data and the rendering process over a

We introduce a new ray tracing algorithm that exploits the best of previous methods: Similar to bounding volume hierarchies the memory of the acceleration data structure is linear

We compared our algorithm with other recent hardware- based volume rendering algorithms, based on the ray casting paradigm, and on a hybrid version mixing ray casting and

The purpose of this paper is to resolve the problem of sort-last volume rendering for large datasets using a simple, inexpensive, off-the-shelf architecture that takes advantage
