Photographic Volume Visualization with LH Histogram and Color Distance Gradient

Article Preview

Abstract:

Volume rendering is an important issue in the field of images visualization, which can display the details of the volume data intuitively. In this paper, we provide an new transfer function for volume visualization of photographic data set. LH histogram and color gradient are used for opacity design. And special organ can be enhanced in 3D view for special mission. We use GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) for the GPUs accelerate. VHP data set is used for test and the result confirms that our method is effective.
