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....
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...
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...
Visualization of volumetric data faces the difficult task of finding effective parameters for the transfer functions. Those parameters can determine the effectiveness and accuracy ...
This paper describes and demonstrates the e ectiveness of several metrics for data level comparison of direct volume rendering (DVR) algorithms. The focus is not on speed ups from...
