A central topic in scientific visualization is the transfer function (TF) for volume rendering.
The TF serves a fundamental role in translating scalar and multivariate data into color and …

With the increasing availability of high-resolution isotropic three-or four-dimensional medical
datasets from sources such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and …

Augmented reality (AR) allows for an on-site presentation of information that is registered to
the physical environment. Applications from civil engineering, which require users to …

The need to improve medical diagnosis and reduce invasive surgery is dependent upon
seeing into a living human system. The use of diverse types of medical imaging and …

Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques
and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes …

This paper introduces a continuous-time, controllable Markov process model of a power-
managed system. The system model is composed of the corresponding stochastic models of …

Direct volume rendering is an important tool for visualizing complex data sets. However, in
the process of generating 2D images from 3D data, information is lost in the form of …

Medical augmented reality (AR) has been widely discussed within the medical imaging as
well as computer aided surgery communities. Different systems for exemplary medical …

In volume rendering it is very difficult to simultaneously visualize interior and exterior
structures while preserving clear shape cues. Very transparent transfer functions produce …

It has long been recognized that transfer function setup for Direct Volume Rendering (DVR)
is crucial to its usability. However, the task of finding an appropriate transfer function is …
