Abstract

In this paper, we present a 3D reconstruction method of color volume data for a computerized human atlas. Binary volume rendering which takes the advantages of object-order ray traversal and run-length encoding visualizes 3D organs at an interactive speed in a general PC without the help of specific hardwares. This rendering method improves the rendering speed by simplifying the determination of the pixel value of an intermediate depth image and applying newly developed normal vector calculation method. Moreover, we describe the 3D boundary encoding that reduces the involved data considerably without the penalty of image quality. The interactive speed of the binary rendering and the storage efficiency of 3D boundary encoding will accelerate the development of the PC-based human atlas.

본 논문에서는 전산화된 인체 해부도의 필수 기능인 3차원 볼륨 가시화 기법을 제시한다. 오브젝트순서에 기반한 광선 추적과 런-길이 인코딩의 장점을 이용한 이진 볼륨 렌더링 기법은 경계 추출된 칼라 슬라이스로 구성된 볼륨 데이터를 이용하여, 특정 하드웨어의 도움없이 일반 PC에서 대화식 수준의 속도로 3차원 가시화를 수행한다. 이 방법은 이진 볼륨 렌더링을 위해 필요한 이진 깊이 화상의 구성을 간소화하고 새루운 법선 벡터 계산 방법을 적용하여 렌더링 시간의 향상을 꾀하였다. 이와 함께 화질의 손실 없이 관련 데이터의 양을 줄이는 3D경계 인코딩 방법도 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 렌더링 방법의 대화식 수준의 속도와 인코딩 방법의 정보 저장면에서의 효율성은 PC에서 운용될 수 있는 의학 해부도 응용 프로그램의 개발을 보다 가속화할 것이다.
