Abstract:

In order to improve the quality of the 3 D medical image reconstructed via Shear-W arp , an improved pre-integrated volume rendering (IPVR) algorithm based on Shear-Warp is proposed , in which the volume rendering equation and the light model are adopted to determine the final re-sampling value and to construct an intermediate image. Thus , the aliasing artifacts resulting from the under-sampling in the standard Shear-W arp algorithm can be avoided by the pre-integrated volume rendering technology. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method meets the requirement of real-time volume rendering with good display performance.

Key words: pre-integrated volume rendering, Shear-Warp, optical model, light model
