The Design and Realization of Real-Time Three-Dimensional Visualization System for Industrial Computed Tomography Based on GPU

Article Preview

Abstract:

Industrial computed tomography (ICT) is an advanced non-contact non-destructive testing technique and plays a key role in many fields. Low imaging efficiency is one of the drawbacks of ICT towards engineering applications. In this paper, we report the design and realization of real-time three-dimensional Visualization System for ICT based on visualization toolkit (VTK) and the graphics processing unit (GPU) technique. It greatly improves the imaging speed by developing the new techniques in three aspects such as image reconstruction, data compression and fast volume rendering with GPU and VTK. It will find applications in three-dimensional ICT systems.
