A practical evaluation of popular volume rendering algorithms
TL;DR: This paper evaluates and compares four volume rendering algorithms that have become rather popular for rendering datasets described on uniform rectilinear grids: raycasting, splatting, shear-warp, and hardware-assisted 3D texture-mapping, with the aim of providing both researchers and practitioners with guidelines on which algorithm is most suited in which scenario.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An accurate method for voxelizing polygon meshes
TL;DR: A new method is introduced for voxelizing planar objects which, unlike existing methods, provides topological conformity through geometric measures and is extended to provide, for the first time, an accurate and coherent method for vxelizing polygon meshes.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-quality splatting on rectilinear grids with efficient culling of occluded voxels
TL;DR: A novel front-to-back approach that employs an occlusion map to determine if a splat contributes to the image before it is projected, thus skipping occluded splats and an efficient list-based volume traversal scheme that facilitates the quick modification of transfer functions and iso-values.

A Study of Parallel Particle Tracing for Steady-State and Time-Varying Flow Fields

TL;DR: This paper scales parallel particle tracing for visualizing steady and unsteady flow fields well beyond previously published results, and configures the 4D domain decomposition into spatial and temporal blocks that combine in-core and out-of-core execution in a flexible way that favors faster run time or smaller memory.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A complete distance field representation
TL;DR: This work proposes a novel complete distance field representation (CDFR) that does not rely on Nyquist's sampling theory and constructs a volume where each voxel has a complete description of all portions of surface that affect the local distance field.
