Plane-Based Sampling for Ray Casting Algorithm in Sequential Medical Images

الملخص EN

This paper proposes a plane-based sampling method to improve the traditional Ray Casting Algorithm (RCA) for the fast reconstruction of a three-dimensional biomedical model from sequential images.

In the novel method, the optical properties of all sampling points depend on the intersection points when a ray travels through an equidistant parallel plan cluster of the volume dataset.

The results show that the method improves the rendering speed at over three times compared with the conventional algorithm and the image quality is well guaranteed.
