Self-Adaptive Slices of 3D Texture Real-Time Volume Rendering

Yaxin Guo, Baocai Yin, Dehui Kong

Abstract: 3D Texture slice based volume rendering is one of the direct volume rendering methods. Our Technique uses OpenGL 2.0 Shading Language, extended the original 3D texture, enable the main processes of volume rendering like filter, interpolating, post classification and shading done by hardware. This Technique could reach a good frame rate and a satisfied image quality, which could be compared to the result of ray casting.
