In the medical image visualization, ray-casting algorithm is a common algorithm. However, traditional ray-casting algorithm is not efficient for real-time volume rendering because of the excessive calculation and the high redundancy .In this paper, the resampling process by skipping the empty voxel is improved according to the medical image characteristics existing concentrated empty voxel. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved algorithm can accelerate the rendering speed and maintenance the quality of rendering image simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
