Hello all,

I'm a student studying in a university in germany, i'm about to start my thesis and thinking about volume rendering domain. Can one tell me where i can find the latest research topics on volume rendering?, my professor wants some ''new'' work in the field, i already proposed him a GPU cluster based volume rendering, but he isnt happy with that, so it would be really nice if somebody points me to new-latest topics in volume rendering,

Thanks and regards

I can't really tell you any latest research topics in the field, but voxels are pretty old school...

I would try to go more the application route, say, taking in volumetric data, say from an CT scan or an MRI, presenting it some form using voxels and allowing the user to say, operate on the subject before doing the operation.

Other than that, I can't think of any research topics, sorry, consider this a free bump for you though

I'd research Sparse Voxel Octrees and the common traversal techniques. Nvidia has papers on them. You could write a lot on just the formats and decoding algorithms probably.

Hello guys,

Thanks for your suggestions, i'm actually reading some papers and found out global illumination in the voulmetric lighting to be interesting. Is there any work done on out of core rendering of large medical data sets, say like 8gb or more size??, and is there any research on compression/de compression algorithms for these huge data sets??, it would be really nice if someone with volume rendering experience replies.
