Techniques
摘要
A large corpus of the literature related to BioMedical Visualization involves purely technical contributions without a specific application field in mind. This chapter focuses on an overview of the most commonly used techniques in BioMedVis and their evolution. We also include references to important surveys that cover each of the discussed topics in greater detail. Firstly, the chapter introduces techniques dealing with data labeling and uncertainty, as well as visual perception and aesthetics. Subsequently, this chapter includes an overview of surface rendering techniques as well as volume rendering and transfer functions for medical volumes. A substantial portion of research is also focused on illustrative techniques and techniques for abstraction, such as silhouettes and reformation techniques, which are discussed further. Finally, this chapter considers virtual and augmented reality techniques in BioMedVis contexts.
