Volume Illumination • Up until now: Light was emitted by the volume • Now: Illumination from external light sources Types of Volume Illumination • Single scattering with attenuation. • Light is attenuated along ist way through the volume(Volumetric shadows) • Light is scattered once before it reaches the eye • Multiple scattering • Light is scattered multiple times before it reaches the eye(Global illumination) • Single scattering, no attenuation. • Light reaches every point unimpededly • Light is scattered once before it reaches the eye • Not physically plausible
Single Scattering • Local illumination, similar to surface lighting • Lambertian reflection(light is reflected equally in all directions) • Perfect mirror reflection(light is reflected in exactly one direction) • Specular reflection(light is reflected scattered around the direction of perfect reflection)
Blinn/Phong Illumination • Diffuse Term (Lambertian reflection) n l
Phong Illumination • Specular Term (view-dependent) n r l v
r Blinn/Phong Illumination Phong Illumination • Specular Term (view-dependent) n h l v
Consider using a fill lightinstead of ambient light! Blinn/Phong Illumination • Ambient Term (constant illumination)lightens up the shadows, also decreases the contrast! Example images taken from Jeremy Birn: Digital Lighting & Rendering,New Riders Publishing, 2000
Isosurfaces Local Illumination • Surface lighting: Light is reflected at surfaces • Volume lighting: Light is scattered at isosurfaces • Isosurface extraction not required! • We only need the normal vector • Normal vector of isosurface is equal to (normalized) gradient vector
Gradient Estimation • The gradient vector is the first-order derivative of the scalar field • We can estimate the gradient vector using finite differencing schemes partial derivativein x-direction partial derivativein y-direction partial derivativein z-direction
Finite Differences • Taylor expansion: Forward Difference: Backward Difference:
Finite Differences Central Difference: Gradient Approximation using Central Differences:
Pre-computed Gradients • Calculate the gradient for each voxel • Store the normalized gradient in an additional texture. Example: Use an RGBA texture: Example: Use an RGB texture:
Basic Idea of Ray-casting Pipeline • Data are defined at the corners • of each cell (voxel) • The data value inside the • voxel is determined using • interpolation (e.g. tri-linear) • Composite colors and opacities • along the ray path • Can use other ray-traversal schemes as well c1 c2 c3
Ray Traversal Schemes Intensity Max Average Accumulate First Depth
Ray Traversal - First • First: extracts iso-surfaces (again!)done by Tuy&Tuy ’84 Intensity First Depth
Ray Traversal - Average • Average: produces basically an X-ray picture Intensity Average Depth
Ray Traversal - MIP • Max: Maximum Intensity Projectionused for Magnetic Resonance Angiogram Intensity Max Depth
Ray Traversal - Accumulate • Accumulate opacity while compositing colors: make transparent layers visible!Levoy ‘88 Intensity Accumulate Depth
