Research Abstract

Volume graphics enables us to visualize 3D inner structures of a human body. In this research project, we developed two methods for precise visual analysis of medical volume data. The first method, VMPU method, is available to create a precise and smooth approximate interpolation field of medical volume data. The created interpolation field is suitable for obtaining an accurate differential field that enables precise visualization of edges and/or characteristic features of the data. The second method, particle-based rendering, enables accurate transparent visualization.
