Good introduction April 25, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book covers very well all the processes from rough data to volume rendering. No pre-requisites, all the terminology is explained with a lots of schemes. It also covers OpenGL rendering, but as it was published in 1997, this part is not really up-to-date. Nevertheless it is a good introduction to volume rendering, even if it is quite useless for real-time volume rendering with OpenGL for example.
A great overview of the Volume Rendering Pipeline November 4, 1998
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book gives a good overview of the typical Volume Rendering by Ray Casting pipeline, and discusses the mathematics without going into too great a depth. The book gives many references on each subject so that the reader can then read more about the topics of interest. The only 'problem' is that the book never mentions a few popular algorithms, such as the Marching Cubes Algorithm.
