Voreen Description

An easy to use and highly flexible volume visualization library written entirely in C++ Through the use of GPU-based state-of-the-art volume rendering techniques it allows high frame rates on off-the-shelf graphics hardware to support interactive volume exploration.Voreen's goal is to develop a volume rendering engine which allows interactive visualization of volumetric data sets by allowing high flexibility when integrating new visualization techniques. Source code is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.Voreen emerged from the project Z1 "Interactive 3D-visualization of medical imaging data for the non-invasive analysis of cardiovascular processes and structures" being part of the collaborative research center SFB 656 MoBil Molecular Cardiovascular Imaging. It has been initiated and is maintained by the Visualization and Computer Graphics Research Group (VisCG) at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Münster. Here are some key features of "Voreen": Visualization: · Direct volume rendering and isosurface shading · Support of different illumination models (phong shading, tone shading, ambient occlusion) · Interactive internal and external labeling · Non-photorealistic rendering techniques (sketch shading) · Glyph-based visualization of multimodal datasets (not yet publicly available) · Flexible combination of image processing operators (depth darkening, glow, chromadepth, edge detection) · Visualization of time-varying as well as segmented 3D datasets · Support of multiple views incorporating 2D and 3D visualization for an improved volume exploration · Stereoscopic rendering (autostereoscopic, shutter glasses) (not yet publicly available) · Different projection types (maximum intensity, minimum intensity, average intensity, x-ray rendering) · Tone mapping Interaction: · Easy point-and-click object identification · Color lookup table editor · Up to 6 axis aligned clipping planes · Arbitrarily oriented clipping plane · Volume cutting and deformation (not yet publicly available) · Distance measurements (not yet publicly available) · Lighting and material parameter modification Data I/O: · Support of different file formats (DICOM, RAW, interfile, Vevo, …) · Preprocessing capabilities (volume cropping, gradient calculation, downscaling, filtering) · High-resolution screenshot and camera animation generation with anti-aliasing · Python scripting for offline image processing and visualization What's New in This Release: · This development release adds a redesigned GUI for the VoreenVE application, label rendering, improved Mac support, and many bugfixes.
