Abstract:
Volume illustration is a developing trend in volume visualization,
focused on conveying volume information effectively
by enhancing interesting features of the volume
and omitting insignicant data. However, the calculations
involved have limited the illustration process to noninteractive
rendering. We have developed a new interactive
volume illustration system (IVIS) that harnesses the power
of programmable graphics processors, and includes a novel
approach for feature halo enhancement. This interactive
illustration system is a powerful tool for exploration and
analysis of volumetric datasets.
