Abstract

For realistic rendering volume to calculate the light effects as well as the shade is essential. In order to produce the high quality of the resulting image, it is necessary to represent a global illumination, and it should be considered an indirect effect of the direct impact and scattering of light. It requires a lot of resources in order to perform this operation and, in particular, is very expensive when large amounts of data to be rendered as a volume data is consumed. In this paper, we generate a scatterer template according to the physical laws for each material. Considering that each object having material property stores photons of the template based on the Lambert illumination model. When the volume rendering in this paper, using the photon is stored in the template, based on the voxel to be sampled within the examination volume occluded, and it represents the global illumination of the scattering. Because the materials produced by the template requires a less resource only if comprised of a complex material, a simple operation can be expressed within the scattering volume at a low cost through.

사실적인 볼륨 렌더링을 위해서는 음영처리 뿐만 아니라 조명 효과를 계산하는 것이 필수적이다. 높은 품질의 결과영상을 만들어내기 위해서는 전역 조명을 표현할 필요가 있는데, 빛의 직접적인 영향과 산란에 따른 간접적인 영향을 고려해야 한다. 이러한 연산을 수행하기 위해서는 많은 자원이 필요하고, 특히 볼륨 데이터처럼 대용량의 데이터로 렌더링 할 때는 매우 많은 비용이 소모된다. 본 논문에서는 각 재질에 대해 물리적 법칙에 따른 산란자 템플릿을 생성한다. 각 물체들이 가지는 재질 특성을 고려하여 램버트 조명 모델을 기반으로 템플릿의 광자들을 저장한다. 본 논문에서 볼륨 렌더링을 할 때, 볼륨 내부에서 샘플링 되는 복셀을 기준으로 템플릿에 저장된 광자를 이용해 차폐를 검사하고, 산란에 따른 전역 조명을 표현한다. 재질별로 템플릿을 생성하기 때문에 매우 복잡한 물질들로 구성된 것만 아니라면 적은 자원을 필요로 하며, 간단한 연산을 통해 적은 비용으로 볼륨 내부의 산란을 표현할 수 있다.
