SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING RENDERING DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A 3-D IMAGE

摘要

A system and a method for generating rendering data associated with a 3-D image are provided. The system includes a 3-D API configured to generate a first 3-D data message indicative of one or more voxels in a first 3-D image from first 3-D image data. The system further includes a 3-D rendering software driver (14) configured to receive the first 3-D data message from the 3-D API (12). The system further includes a 2-D rendering software driver (94) operably communicating with a 3-D rendering software driver (92) and a rendering device (86). The 3-D rendering software driver (92) is configured to generate at least a first rendering command identifying one or more voxels in a slice of the first 3-D image. The 3-D rendering software driver (92) sends the first rendering command to the 2-D rendering software driver (94). The 2-D rendering software driver (94) is configured to generate at least a first 2-D array of data based on the rendering command utilizing the rendering device (14).
