Abstract

To render images from volume datasets, an interpolation method also called reconstruction is needed. The level of details of the resultant image closely depends on the filter used for reconstruction. We propose here a new filter producing C1 continue surfaces. The provided image quality is better than current high-quality algorithms, like splatting or trilinear raycasting, where tiny details are often eliminated. In contrast with other studied high quality filters that are practically unusable, our algorithm has been implemented interactively on a modest platform thanks to an efficient implementation using parametric cubes. We also demonstrate the interest of a min-max octree in the visualization of isosurfaces interactively thresholded.
