    摘要: An embodiment suggests a method for visualizing an image data set, in particular a medical image data set, wherein the visualized data set displays a three dimensional arrangement having at least a first object and a second object. The method includes assigning a first set of parameter to the first object; assigning a second set of parameters to the second object; dividing the medical image data set into a first sub-region and a second sub-region; and providing a visualisation of the three dimensional arrangement by a volume rendering method, in particular by a ray-casting method or a photorealistic volumetric path tracing, the first set of parameter being applied to the first sub-region for visualizing the first object and the second set of parameter being applied to the second sub-region for visualizing the second object.

    摘要: A method is for visualizing an image data set, the image data set displaying a three-dimensional arrangement including at least a first object and a second object. The method includes providing a three dimensional image data set including first voxels assigned to the first object and second voxels assigned to the second object; identifying first voxels of the three-dimensional image data set; determining a set of parameters for volume rendering, the set of parameters determined including a subset of parameters and a focusing parameter; identifying primary rays impacting on the first object and identifying secondary rays missing the first object; and performing the volume rendering using the subset of parameters determined, for visualizing the first object and the second object. The focusing parameter used for the primary rays in the volume rendering is different from the focusing parameter used for the secondary rays in the volume rendering.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for volume rendering based 3D image filtering and real-time cinematic volume rendering is disclosed. A set of 2D projection images of the 3D volume is generated using cinematic volume rendering. A reconstructed 3D volume is generated from the set of 2D projection images using an inverse linear volumetric ray tracing operator. The reconstructed 3D volume inherits noise suppression and structure enhancement from the projection images generated using cinematic rendering, and is thus non-linearly filtered. Real-time volume rendering can be performed on the reconstructed 3D volume using volumetric ray tracing, and each projected image of the reconstructed 3D volume is an approximation of a cinematic rendered image of the original volume.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is for visualization of a three-dimensional object represented by volume data for a user in the form of a two-dimensional visualization image including a plurality of visualization pixels. In an embodiment, the method includes: providing an image synthesis algorithm designed for visualization of the three-dimensional object by mapping the volume data onto the visualization pixels; detecting an instantaneous viewing direction of the user; determining a focus area defined as a region of the visualization image, upon which the user focuses based upon the instantaneous viewing direction; adjusting the image synthesis algorithm such that the computing effort required for the mapping for visualization pixels outside of the focus area is lower than for visualization pixels inside of the focus area; and mapping volume data onto the visualization pixels with the adjusted image synthesis algorithm.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method is for rendering medical volumetric images from received volumetric data, using a cinematic rendering approach, based on a Monte Carlo path tracing algorithm (MCPT). The MCPT algorithm uses at least one microfacet-based bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) for computing a probability how light is reflected at an implicit surface which is used for shading the implicit surface. In one embodiment, the method includes detecting if a surface scatter event is triggered. If yes, the method includes modifying the computation of a local gradient in the BRDF by perturbing the respective received volumetric data by applying a noise function for simulating a roughness of the implicit surface; and shading the implicit surfaces for rendering the received volumetric data.
