Abstract
The Virtual Reality (VR) is an appealing subject which can be applied to various areas because of its merit - removal of time limits and space. Recently, as the technology of xDSL spreads widely, a concern of VR is on the on-line service of 3D model data in real time. But, the immensity of 3D model is an obstacle to achieve these endeavors. To solve these problems, the image based VR technique is applied. The proposed method in this paper is one of solutions on the immensity problem of 3D model data in the on-line services. This paper exploits the mixed technique of image based VR and surface rendering based on volume rendering. By using the proposed method, we can solve the immensity problem. Consequently, tole service user can explore virtual 2D volume model with almost equal to reality of 3D volume model. Furthermore, this paper explains a method to implement this service on general web environments. Of course, to fulfill these procedures, additional skills which reduce consuming time in data mining are also mentioned. The contribution of this paper is to provide a practical method for handling of large volume data web service in real-time. illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
