INSPIRE is a non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) system that features interactive generation of a wide variety of artistic styles for large geometric data. Inspire also promises animation consistency during object navigation. Comparing with conventional physics-based graphics rendering targeting photorealism, stylized rendering can better depict and highlight geometric features, hence is more effective when used for scientific or medical data visualization.

hybrid forward volume rendering Hybrid Forward Resampling and Volume Rendering
The transforming and rendering of discrete objects, such as traditional images (with or without depths) and volumes, can be considered as resampling problem -- objects are reconstructed, transformed, filtered, and finally sampled on screen grids. In resampling practices, discrete samples (pixels, voxels) can be considered either as infinitesimal sample points (simply called points) or samples of a certain size ( splats). Resampling can also be done either forwardly or backwardly in either source domain or target domain. Here we present a framework that features hybrid forward resampling for discrete rendering. Specifically, we apply this framework to enhance image warping (with or without depth) and volumetric splatting. For the latter, methods for efficiently computing a splat's 2D elliptical projection geometry and achieving accurate perspective reconstruction filter have also been developed. The results of our experiments demonstrate both the effectiveness of antialiasing and the efficiency of rendering using this approach.

Point-Polygon Rdnering System POP: A Hybrid Point and Polygon Rendering System for Large Data
[ project site (Demo+Sample Data) ]
We introduce a simple but important extension to the existing pure point rendering systems. Rather than using only points, we use both points and polygons to represent and render large mesh models. We start from triangles as leaf nodes and build up a hierarchical tree structure with intermediate nodes as points. During the rendering, the system determines whether to use a point (of a non-leaf node) or a triangle (of a leaf node) for display depending on the screen contribution of each node. (Red for points, blue for triangles in the left image.) While the points are used to speedup the rendering for distant objects, the triangles are used to ensure the quality for close objects. We also perform pre-texturing on points and triangles when we build up the tree. Our hybrid representation facilitates effective antialiasing for texture mapping.

The first image of the lower row is fully volume rendered, called keyview; the top image is the intermediate novel view by texture mapping of the keyview onto an underlying geometry of the volume; the second image of the lower row is the final novel view by filling red colored holes of the intermediate image through ray-casting. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach by applying it to a real medical system of virtual colonoscopy navigation. We have obtained an order of magnitude speedup over the traditional volume rendering.

Three main thrusts: (1) volume rendering, (2) special hardware design for volume rendering, (3) image-based techniques.

LOD+Sprite LOD-Sprite Technique for Accelerated Terrain Rendering [ project site ]
We present a new rendering technique, termed LOD-sprite rendering, which uses a combination of a level-of-detail (LOD) representation of the scene together with reusing image sprites (previously rendered images). Our primary application is an acceleration technique for virtual environment navigation, especially for terrain rendering in flight simulation (the left image is a typical scene). The LOD-sprite technique can be efficiently implemented in texture-mapping graphics hardware, thus the speedup is substantial by employing this technique.

Multi-tetra LOD Representation of Regular Volumes and Iso-surface Construction
We present an algorithm for continuous level of detail representation of regular volumes based on a level of detail framework, that approximates volume data with different levels-of-detail tetrahedra. Conceptually, the framework is generated through a recursive subdivision of the volume data, however, it does not need any explicit storage representation --- the subdivision level relationships can be easily obtained by implicit data structures, thus gaining efficiency while avoiding large data storage. Instead of using a particular level of the LOD-Tetra framework for approximation, an error-based LOD model is employed to recursively fuse a sequence of tetrahedra from different levels. Cares are taken to maintain the topology and the smooth transition between levels during the fusion. Our approach naturally generates smooth isosurfaces and avoids crack problem suffered by the other methods. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of primitive reduction and smooth transition between error threshold boundary. The left image has an error threshold of 0.0 at the left side, while 4.0 at the right side.

Texture Mapping High Quality and Efficient Texture Mapping
We present an algorithm called FAST (Footprint Area Sampling for Texturing), which is efficient as well as delivers high-quality texture mapping. By utilizing coherence between neighboring pixels, performing prefiltering, and applying an area sampling scheme, we guarantee a minimum number of samples sufficient for effective antialiasing. Unlike existing methods (e.g., MIP-map, footprint assembly), our method performs bilinear instead of trilinear interpolation to avoid over blurring. Our method has been shown to not only deliver as high quality images as adaptive supersampling, but also require lower memory bandwidth of texel access similar to MIP-map, while retaining the same efficiency as footprint assembly.

Image Warping Forward Perspective Image Mapping [ project site ] [ benchmark images ]
We present a new forward image warping algorithm, which speeds up perspective warping -- as in texture mapping. It processes the source image in a special scanline order instead of the normal raster scanline order. This special scanline has the property of preserving parallelism when projecting to the target image. The algorithm reduces the complexity of perspective-correct image warping by eliminating the division per pixel and replacing it with a division per scanline. The method also corrects the perspective distortion in Gouraud shading with negligible overhead. Furthermore, the special scanline order is suitable for antialiasing using a more accurate antialiasing conic filter, with minimum additional cost. The algorithm is highlighted by incremental calculations and optimized memory bandwidth by reading each source pixel only once, suggesting a potential hardware implementation.

3D rotation by shear Image/Volume Rotation Using Shear Transformations
3D volume rotation is important in volume manipulation and registration, however, is expensive to perform. We present a group of methods of decomposing 3D volume rotation into pure 1D, 2D, or 3D shear transformations, resulting in four-pass, three-pass, or even two-pass decompositions. Multiple decompositions give us different choices for different scenery. The simplicity and regularity of shear transformation is especially suitable for parallel hardware implementation.

Walk Into Images Navigating Through Sparse Views [ project site ]
We investigate two problems involved in creating animation from static image/images. We first extend the work of "TIP" (in SIGGRAPH'97) to increase the freedom of modeling, thus better approximation of the underlying scene structure. Further, we study a situation where the camera is moved further into the scene and sequence of shots are taken along the path. This is opposed to previous panorama scene creation, in which pictures are obtained by rotating camera 360 degree, but fixing camera position.

Cube-2 and VolumePro Architecture Design for Volume Processing and Universal 3D Rendering
Coded "Cube", this project is to design and implement a special-purpose volume rendering accelerator for the real-time visualization of high-resolution volumetric datasets. Cube-4 design has been adopted by MECO and JRC. The Mitsubishi Electric VolumePro boards, based on Cube design, have been available since the second quarter of 1999. The left is the picture of Cube-2 chip and VolumePro board. The latest architecture, Cube-5, performs arbitrary parallel and perspective projections of high-resolution datasets at true real-time frame rates. More importantly, it aims to handle multiple overlapping volumes, and the mixed scene of volumes and traditional geometric primitives, such as polygons. Furthermore, Cube-5 can be used to accelerate image-based rendering and other techniques because of Cube-5's powerful functionality of interpolation.

DSP for Volume DSP Accelerated Volume Rendering on PC
As real-time volume rendering requires a very high computing power and memory bandwidth, many efforts are under-taken on how to reach this goal. In this project, we implement a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) based volume renderer. We employ TI (Texas Instruments)'s latest multiprocessor DSP, TMS320C80, with one master and four parallel processors. We have studied ways to accelerate volume rendering, with considerations especially on full exploration of external memory bandwidth.
