A1 - Hege, Hans-Christian T1 - Perception-Oriented Picking of Structures in Direct Volumetric Renderings N2 - Radiologists from all application areas are trained to read slice-based visualizations of 3D medical image data. Despite the numerous examples of sophisticated three-dimensional renderings, especially all variants of direct volume rendering, such methods are often considered not very useful by radiologists who prefer slice-based visualization. Just recently there have been attempts to bridge this gap between 2D and 3D renderings. These attempts include specialized techniques for volume picking that result in repositioning slices. In this paper, we present a new volume picking technique that, in contrast to previous work, does not require pre-segmented data or metadata. The positions picked by our method are solely based on the data itself, the transfer function and, most importantly, on the way the volumetric rendering is perceived by viewers. To demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method we apply it for automatically repositioning slices in an abdominal MRI scan, a data set from a flow simulation and a number of other volumetric scalar fields. Furthermore we discuss how the method can be implemented in combination with various different volumetric rendering techniques.

We introduce definitions of the elements of this void space, here called pore space, based on its distance function, and present methods to extract these elements using the extremal structures of the distance function. The presented methods are implemented by an image processing pipeline that determines pore centers, pore paths and pore constrictions. These pore space elements build a graph that represents the topology of the pore space in a compact way. The representations we derive from μCT image data of realistic soil specimens enable the computation of many statistical parameters and, thus, provide a basis for further visual analysis and application-specific developments. We introduced parts of our pipeline in previous work. In this chapter, we present additional details and compare our results with the analytic computation of the pore space elements for a sphere packing in order to show the correctness of our graph computation.

A1 - Hege, Hans-Christian T1 - Computation and Application of 3D Strokes on Visible Structures in Direct Volume Rendering N2 - In this paper we describe VisiTrace, a novel technique to draw 3D lines in 3D volume rendered images. It allows to draw strokes in the 2D space of the screen to produce 3D lines that run on top or in the center of structures actually visible in the volume rendering. It can handle structures that only shortly occlude the structure that has been visible at the starting point of the stroke and is able to ignore such structures. For this purpose a shortest path algorithm finding the optimal curve in a specially designed graph data structure is employed. We demonstrate the usefulness of the technique by applying it to MRI data from medicine and engineering, and show how the method can be used to mark or analyze structures in the example data sets, and to automatically obtain good views toward the selected structures.
