This article is intended as an update of the major survey by Max [40] on optical models for direct volume rendering. It provides a brief overview of the subject scope covered by [...
Direct volume rendering is an efficient method for plotting three dimensional scientific data. However, the technique is not as frequently used as it could be. In this article, we...

We present here a new algorithm for accelerating volume rendering with an orthographic projection. Because volume rendering handles huge data sets, a reduction in the computationa...
