  • Nice overview of different flow visualization techniques (streamlines, stream surfaces, etc)
• Flow http://www.zhanpingliu.org/research/flowvis/FlowVis.htm
  • overview of many flow visualization techniques - focuses on Line Integral Convolution and extensions of it.

Transfer function

System

• Real-time decompression and visualization of animated volume data
• Texture hardware assisted rendering of time-varying volume data
• A fast volume rendering algorithm for time-varying fields using a time-space partitioning tree.
• Volume Rendering of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Roger C. Tam, Christopher G. Healey, Borys Flak, and Peter Cahoon
  • http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/healey/HTML_papers/aneurism/aneurism.html
  • old, specific to topic, on whole CT data, not a model
• Computer aided diagnosis for virtual endoscopy Wei Hong
  • http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1570930&coll=DL&dl=GUIDE&CFID=4717818&CFTOKEN=19743614

  • 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
