Current Project Status
- Octree representation has been completed
- Wireframe surface outline is being drawn
- Slice rendering direction is changed inside the vessel, to reduce the amount of artifacts seen
TODO
Han
Greg
- Implement more interactive transfer function modification using shaders
Paper List
Cylindrical rendering
- Colon Visualization Using Cylindrical Parameterization - Z. Mai, T. Huysmans, and J. Sijbers

- rendering lungs for virtual endoscopy
- segmentation methods
- touches on blood vessels in lungs - too small/intricate?
- Connectivity-based local adaptive thresholding for carotid artery segmentation using MRA images
- link
- seems relevant, no pdf
Vector field visualization
- Most vector field visualization are textures, “smoke” particles
- mostly seems to apply to fluids passing over solid objects (cars, airplanes)

- summary of different techniques
- current (2009)
- looked mostly at section 4, 5 & the table at the beginning
