| Abstract(in English) | In this report, we describe an implementation of a fast volume rendering method by software and its application to the virtualized endoscope system. In recent years, the volume rendering has been widely used as a method for visualizing a 3-D gray image such as X-ray CT image. Fast volume rendering methods are expected to be developed for achieving interactive manipulation environments of volumetric images. Our implementation of the fast volume rendering method employs optimization of program codes using utility multimedia instruction sets, and parallel processing using PC clusters. This parallel processing method balances the load among PCs in order to equalize the processing time in each processor. We implemented this method on the virtualized endoscope system and confirmed that the method could speed up rendering processing. |
