We present a general wavelet-based denoising scheme for functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) data and compare it to Gaussian smoothing, the traditional denoising method …

Data reduction is increasingly being applied to scientific data for numerical simulations,
scientific visualizations and data analyses. It is most often used to lower I/O and storage …

The Max-Tree designed for morphological attribute filtering in image processing, is a data
structure in which the nodes represent connected components for all threshold levels in a …

Medical imaging currently plays a crucial role throughout the entire clinical applications from
medical scientific research to diagnostics and treatment planning. However, medical …

The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has a wide range of applications from signal
processing to video and image compression. We show that this transform, by means of the …

In this paper a novel volume-rendering technique based on Monte Carlo integration is
presented. As a result of a preprocessing, a point cloud of random samples is generated …

The Fourier volume rendering technique operates in the frequency domain and creates line
integral projections of a 3D scalar field. These projections can be efficiently generated in) …

In this paper prefiltered reconstruction techniquesare evaluated for volume-rendering
applications. All the analyzedmethods perform a discrete prefiltering as a preprocessing of …

This paper describes the Medical Visualizer, a real-time visualization system for analyzing
medical volumetric data in various virtual environments, such as autostereoscopic displays …

The work presented here describes two methods to incorporate viable illumination models
into Fourier Volume Rendering (FVR). The lack of adequate illumination has been one of the …
