METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VOLUME RENDERING COLOR MAPPING ON POLYGONAL OBJECTS

摘要

Processes and systems in computer enabled imaging for the mapping of volume rendering colors upon polygonal model objects applied to computer enabled volume rendering by means of mapping or encoding the color of volume rendering data upon polygonal model objects located inside volumetric data. Exemplary processes and systems including assigning the rendering result of voxels at or near the surface of the polygonal object.

主权项

1. A computer enabled method of depicting an image, comprising the acts of:
receiving from a computer readable memory a volumetric data-set representing an image in 3 dimensions, wherein the data-set includes a plurality of elements; receiving from a second computer readable memory a transfer function which defines a color for each of the elements; obtaining the color of the elements in a local region of each vertex of a polygonal object; and mapping, by a processor, the red-green-blue color (RGB) result to each of the polygonal object interfacing with the elements of the volumetric data-set.
