Multi-pass volume rendering pipeline

摘要

A multi-stage pipeline renders a volume data set stored in a volume memory as samples. The pipeline includes a first stage reading the samples from the volume memory. A second stage renders the read samples, and a third stage writes the processed samples to the volume memory. The first, second and third stages use first rendering parameters during a first rendering pass and second rendering parameters during a second rendering pass to enable multi-pass volume rendering. <IMAGE>
