<p>The present invention is a digital electronic system for rendering a volume image in real time. The system accelerators the processing of voxels through early ray termination and space leaping techniques in the projection guided ray casting of the voxels. Predictable and regular voxel access from hihg-speed internal memory further accelerates the volume rendering. Through the acceleration techniques and devices of the present invention real-time rendering of parallel and perspective views, including those for stereoscopic viewing, are achieved.</p> |
