Abstract

본 논문에서는 3D 텍스쳐 매핑 하드웨어(texture mapping hardware)하에서 OpenGL를 이용하여 빠른 추출(classification) 및 음영처리(shading)를 가능하게 하는 직접 볼륨 렌더링(direct volume rendering) 방법을 제안한다. 추출과정을 위해 lookup table을 통해서 볼륨 데이터의 밀도값(density)으로부터 불투명도(opacity)값을 얻어내고, 법선 벡터 블렌딩(normal blending)방법을 제안하여 볼륨 크기에 상관없이 최종 이미지에서만 음영 처리 연산을 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 볼륨 렌더링의 전과정이 그래픽스 하드웨어(graphics hardware)에서 이뤄지면, 음영처리 연산의 복잡도 감소로 인하여 상호 대화적인 볼륨 렌더링이 가능하다.
