In this paper we describe a GPU-based technique for creating illustrative visualization
through interactive manipulation of volumetric models. It is partly inspired by medical …

Graphics processing units (GPUs) have been revolutionizing the way computer graphics
and visualization are practiced. Driven by the computer-games industry and its demand for …

Splitting a volumetric object is a useful operation in volume graphics and its applications, but
is not widely supported by existing systems for volume-based modeling and rendering. In …

We present a real–time simulation of the phaco-emulsification task in a virtual reality training
system for cataract surgery. Phaco–emulsification consists in breaking in small fragments …

This paper introduces a novel method supporting the interactive exploration of volumetric
subsurface data. To facilitate better insights into the datasets we propose the application of …

Illustrative techniques are a new and exciting direction in visualization research. Traditional
techniques which have been used by scientific illustrators for centuries are re-examined …

In anatomical illustrations deformation is often used to increase expressivity, to improve
spatial comprehension and to enable an unobstructed view onto otherwise occluded …

We introduce a novel volume illustration technique for regularly sampled volume datasets.
The fundamental difference between previous volume illustration algorithms and ours is that …

We introduce a new framework for non-linear, non-reconstructive deformation of volumetric
datasets. Traditional techniques for deforming volumetric datasets non-linearly usually …

We present an approach to texture map** volume datasets based on multiple semantic
constraints. The approach is based on continuous space map**s to ensure good image …
