Abstract

The visualization of scientific, engineering or biomedical data is a growing field within computer graphics. Volume rendering, which encompasses an array of techniques for displaying images directly from the 3D data, has become a key technology in the visualization of volumetric data. Unlike surface-based representations, volumetric data can embody interior structures and composition. The emerging field of volume graphics is also using the volume data of geometrical models that have been synthesized into 3D datasets. Real-time volume rendering is no longer just a possibility as major advances address the two important issues that have limited its use: extremely computer-intensive processing and complex rendering parameters.
