This book was released on 1998 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Visualization of time-varying volumetric data sets, which may be obtained from numerical simulations or sensing instruments, provides scientists insights into the detailed dynamics of the phenomenon under study. This paper describes a coherent solution based on quantization, coupled with octree and difference encoding for visualizing time-varying volumetric data. Quantization is used to attain voxel-level compression and may have a significant influence on the performance of the subsequent encoding and visualization steps. Octree encoding is used for spatial domain compression, and difference encoding for temporal domain compression. In essence, neighboring voxels may be fused into macro voxels if they have similar values, and subtrees at consecutive time steps may be merged if they are identical. The software rendering process is tailored according to the tree structures and the volume visualization process. With the tree representation, selective rendering may be performed very efficiently. Additionally, the I/O costs are reduced. With these combined savings, a higher level of user interactivity is achieved. We have studied a variety of time-varying volume datasets, performed encoding based on data statistics, and optimized the rendering calculations wherever possible. Preliminary tests on workstations have shown in many cases tremendous reduction by as high as 90% in both storage space and inter-frame delay."

This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visualization of volume data is a fundamental component in the medical domain. Volume data is used in the clinical work-flow to diagnose patients and is therefore of uttermost importance. The amount of data is rapidly increasing as sensors, such as computed tomography scanners, become capable of measuring more details and gathering more data over time. Unfortunately, the increasing amount of data makes it computationally challenging to interactively apply high quality methods to increase shape and depth perception. Furthermore, methods for exploring volume data has mostly been designed for experts, which prohibits novice users from exploring volume data. This thesis aims to address these challenges by introducing efficient methods for enhancing salient features through high quality illumination as well as methods for intuitive volume data exploration. Humans are interpreting the world around them by observing how light interacts with objects. Shadows enable us to better determine distances while shifts in color enable us to better distinguish objects and identify their shape. These concepts are also applicable to computer generated content. The perception in volume data visualization can therefore be improved by simulating real-world light interaction. This thesis presents efficient methods that are capable of interactively simulating realistic light propagation in volume data. In particular, this work shows how a multi-resolution grid can be used to encode the attenuation of light from all directions using spherical harmonics and thereby enable advanced interactive dynamic light configurations. Two methods are also presented that allow photon mapping calculations to be focused on visually changing areas.The results demonstrate that photon mapping can be used in interactive volume visualization for both static and time-varying volume data. Efficient and intuitive exploration of volume data requires methods that are easy to use and reflect the objects that were measured. A value that has been collected by a sensor commonly represents the material existing within a small neighborhood around a location. Recreating the original materials is difficult since the value represents a mixture of them. This is referred to as the partial-volume problem. A method is presented that derives knowledge from the user in order to reconstruct the original materials in a way which is more in line with what the user would expect. Sharp boundaries are visualized where the certainty is high while uncertain areas are visualized with fuzzy boundaries. The volume exploration process of mapping data values to optical properties through the transfer function has traditionally been complex and performed by expert users. A study at a science center showed that visitors favor the presented dynamic gallery method compared to the most commonly used transfer function editor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the International Workshop on Volume Graphics 200 1 (VG'O I) which took place on June 21 and June 22 at Stony Brook, New York. This year's event was the second in the series, following a successful premiere in Swansea, Wales, in March 1999, and was co-sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics (TC-VG) as well as EUROGRAPHICS. The Volume Graphics Workshop is held bi-annually and has been created to pro vide a forum for the exploration and advancement of volume-based techniques, beyond the scope of just volume visualization. It brings together researchers and practitioners both from academia and industry, from many parts of the world. Volume graphics is in the process of evolving into a general graphics technology, and the papers included in these proceedings are testimonial to the wide spectrum of unique applications and solu tions that volumetric representations are able to offer.

This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of visualization is the accurate, interactive, and intuitive presentation of data. Complex numerical simulations, high-resolution imaging devices and incre- ingly common environment-embedded sensors are the primary generators of m- sive data sets. Being able to derive scienti?c insight from data increasingly depends on having mathematical and perceptual models to provide the necessary foundation for effective data analysis and comprehension. The peer-reviewed state-of-the-art research papers included in this book focus on continuous data models, such as is common in medical imaging or computational modeling. From the viewpoint of a visualization scientist, we typically collaborate with an application scientist or engineer who needs to visually explore or study an object which is given by a set of sample points, which originally may or may not have been connected by a mesh. At some point, one generally employs low-order piecewise polynomial approximationsof an object, using one or several dependent functions. In order to have an understanding of a higher-dimensional geometrical “object” or function, ef?cient algorithms supporting real-time analysis and manipulation (- tation, zooming) are needed. Often, the data represents 3D or even time-varying 3D phenomena (such as medical data), and the access to different layers (slices) and structures (the underlying topology) comprising such data is needed.
