Min Chen, Arie E. Kaufman and Roni Yage/ Volume graphics is
concerned with graphics scenes defined in volume data types, where
a model is specified by a mass of points instead of a collection of
surfaces. The underlying mathematical definition of such a model is
a set of scalar fields, which define the geometrical and physical
properties of every point in three dimensional space. As true 3D
representations, volume data types possess more descriptive power
than surface data types, and are morphologically closer to many
high-level modelling schemes in traditional surface graphics such
as parametric surfaces, implicit surfaces and volume sweeping. The
past decade has witnessed significant advances in volume
visualisation, driven mainly by applications such as medical
imaging and scientific computation. The work in this field has
produced a number of volume rendering methods that enable 3D
information in a volumetric dataset to be selectively rendered into
2D images. With modern computer hardware, such a process can easily
be performed on an ordinary workstation. More importantly,
volume-based rendering offers a consistent solution to the primary
deficiencies of the traditional surface-based rendering, which
include its inability to encapsulate the internal description of a
model, and the difficulties in rendering amorphous phenomena. The
emergence of volume-based techniques has not only broadened the
extent of graphics applications, but also brought computer graphics
closer to other scientific and engineering disciplines, including
image processing, computer vision, finite element analysis and
rapid prototyping.
