Improved Rapid Interpolation Ray Casting Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ray casting algorithm is a kind of widely used volume rendering algorithm in the field of medical 3D reconstruction. One of the greatest advantages of it is the high rendering quality, while the rendering speed is rather low. In order to accelerate the rendering speed, in this paper, it proposed an accelerated ray casting algorithm which is based on the proximate cloud algorithm, combined with empty voxel leaping and fast interpolation. Meanwhile, it also analyzed the complexity of computing to significantly enhance the speed of the algorithm on volume rendering.
