The tremendous evolution of programmable graphics hardware has made high-quality real-
time volume graphics a reality. In addition to the traditional application of rendering volume …

Visualization and analysis tools, techniques, and algorithms have undergone a rapid
evolution in recent decades to accommodate explosive growth in data size and complexity …

Focus+ context visualization integrates a visually accentuated representation of selected
data items in focus (more details, more opacity, etc.) with a visually deemphasized …

We present a new algorithm for rendering very large volume data sets at interactive frame
rates on standard PC hardware. The algorithm accepts scalar data sampled on a regular …

This paper presents a real-time rendering pipeline for implicit surfaces defined by a regular
volumetric grid of samples. We use a ray-casting approach on current graphics hardware to …

This survey gives an overview of the current state of the art in GPU techniques for interactive
large‐scale volume visualization. Modern techniques in this field have brought about a sea …

Data reduction is increasingly being applied to scientific data for numerical simulations,
scientific visualizations and data analyses. It is most often used to lower I/O and storage …

Volume rendered imagery often includes a barrage of 3D information like shape,
appearance and topology of complex structures, and it thus quickly overwhelms the user. In …

Volume raycasting techniques are important for both visual arts and visualization. They
allow an efficient generation of visual effects and the visualization of scientific data obtained …

This paper presents the first volume visualization system that scales to petascale volumes
imaged as a continuous stream of high-resolution electron microscopy images. Our …
