With the rapid development in graphics hardware and volume rendering techniques, many volumetric datasets can now be rendered in real time on a standard PC equipped with a commodi...
Interactive volume rendering methods such as texture-based slicing techniques and ray-casting have been well developed in recent years. The rendering performance is generally restr...
The effectiveness of direct volume rendering is difficult to validate and users may not know whether they have successfully explored the data or not. This limits its applications....
An important challenge in the visualization of three dimensional volume data is the e cient processing and rendering of time-resolved sequences. Only the use of compression techni...
