Interactive direct volume rendering on desktop multicore processors

We present a new multithreaded implementation for the computationally demanding direct volume rendering (DVR) of volumetric data sets on desktop multicore processors using ray casting. The new implementation achieves interactive rendering of very large volumes, even on high resolution screens. Our i...
