Direct Interval Volume Visualization

<20>Direct volume rendering is a core visualisation technique known to be computationally expensive, and which has been hard to combine with other techniques such as isosurface and interval volume rendering. This collaboration with Stuttgart unifies these methods in a single renderer, incorporates gradient-dependent rendering, and accelerates by a factor of two through exploiting the mathematical structure of the trilinear interpolant. It sets the gold standard for volume rendering, and has been implemented by researchers in China (DOI:10.1109/ICVRV.2011.37, 10.1109/ISDEA.2012.125), and further extended in Utah to higher-dimensional transfer functions (DOI:10.1109/PacificVis.2012.6183587) and in Alabama to cluster-based rendering (DOI:10.1142/S0219467812500258).
