Interactive volume rendering in its standard formulation has become an increasingly
important tool in many application domains. In recent years several advanced volumetric …

Importance. Medical images are essential for modern medicine and an important research
subject in visualization. However, medical experts are often not aware of the many …

We present a novel deep learning based technique for volumetric ambient occlusion in the
context of direct volume rendering. Our proposed Deep Volumetric Ambient Occlusion …

Fiber tracking is a common method for analyzing 3D tensor fields that arise from diffusion-
weighted magnetic resonance imaging. This method can visualize, eg, the structure of the …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) fetal ultrasound has been widely used in prenatal
examinations. Realistic and real-time volumetric ultrasound volume rendering can enhance …

For visualization in medical imaging, a hybrid volume and surface renderer uses unified
path tracing. Rather than separately rasterizing the surface and path tracing the volume, a …

Light effects have been frequently used in volume rendering because they can depict the
shapes of objects more realistically. Global illumination reflects light intensity values at …

Brain fibers constitute the foundation for the brain complex structure and the information
exchange among the brain regions. The fiber anatomical structures reconstruction based on …

The benefits of using advanced illumination models in volume visualization have been
demonstrated by many researchers. Interactive volume rendering incorporated with …

While real-time applications are nowadays routinely used in visualizing large nu-merical
simulations and volumes, handling these large-scale datasets requires high-end graphics …
