"Effective, Intuitive, and Intelligent Volume Visualization"

Mr. Yingcai Wu


Abstract:

Volume visualization is a dynamic and important research field with a wide
range of applications. It can help doctors, scientists, and engineers
explore their volumetric data using computer graphics techniques.  It is
now becoming commonly accepted in the medical community that the next
generation volume visualization system, based on user requirements as well
as domain knowledge, will be one of the key diagnosis tools in the future.

The aim of this survey is to provide an overview of current volume
visualization techniques that take human factors and domain knowledge into
account. Specifically, I will review some important and promising
approaches that make the process of visualization more effective, more
intuitive, and more intelligent. At the end of this survey, I will also
provide some future research directions.
