Fast Rendering of Irregular Grids
We propose a fast algorithm for rendering general irregular grids. Our method uses a sweep-plane approach to accelerate ray casting, and can handle disconnected and nonconvex (eve...

Volume Decimation of Irregular Tetrahedral Grids
Rendering highly complex models can be time and space prohibitive, and decimation is an important tool in providing simplifications. A decimated model may replace the original ent...

Hierarchical and Parallelizable Direct Volume Rendering for Irregular and Multiple Grids
A general volume rendering technique is described that efficiently produces images of excellent quality from data defined over irregular grids having a wide variety of formats. Re...

On-the-Fly rendering of losslessly compressed irregular volume data
Very large irregular-grid data sets are represented as tetrahedral meshes and may incur significant disk I/O access overhead in the rendering process. An effective way to allevia...

Simple, Fast, and Robust Ray Casting of Irregular Grids
In this paper we describe a simple and efficient ray casting engine that is suitable for the rapid exploration of irregular grids composed of tetrahedra cells, or other cell comp...
