This paper evaluates and compares four volume rendering algorithms that have become rather popular for rendering datasets described on uniform rectilinear grids: raycasting, splat...
Virtual endoscopy presents the cross-sectional acquired 3D-data of a computer tomograph as an endoluminal view. The common approach for the visualization of a virtual endoscopy is...
Trivariate data is commonly visualized using isosurfaces or direct volume rendering. When exploring scalar fields by isosurface extraction it is often difficult to choose isoval...
This can be a costly operation. When the data is arranged according to its three-dimensional coordinates, calculating the contour surfaces requires examining each data cell. Avoidi...
—The Reeb graph of a scalar function represents the evolution of the topology of its level sets. This paper describes a near-optimal output-sensitive algorithm for computing the ...
