In the past few years, there have been key advances in the three main approaches to the
visualization of volumetric data: isosurfacing, slicing and volume rendering, which together …

This paper proposes a modification of the Marching Cubes algorithm for isosurfacing, with
the intent of improving the representation of the surface in the interior of each grid cell. Our …

Continuation methods are based on piecewise linear approximation of a variety (eg curve or
surface) by means of numerical solution of an initial value problem 7. In other words, they …

Isosurfaces are commonly used to visualize scalar fields. Critical isovalues indicate
isosurface topology changes: the creation of new surface components, merging of surface …

Uncertainty is a normal part of everyday life. It appears in the environment around us from
the weather to the stock market, internally to some degree in almost every plan or decision …

Trivariate data is commonly visualized using isosurfaces or direct volume rendering. When
exploring scalar fields by isosurface extraction is often difficult to choose isovalues that …

In this paper, we proposed an improved version of the Marching Cube algorithm which gives
topologically correct triangular approximation of the isosurface for any cube configuration …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes ways in which contouring and isosurfacing
techniques for 3D computer graphics have evolved. In particular, it shows the way they are …

Modeling and rendering transparent and translucent objects is one of the most important
features of volume graphics. Refraction is a phenomenon closely coupled with such objects …
