Cross-Platform Presentation of Interactive Volumetric Imagery
Volume data is useful across many disciplines, not just medicine.
Thus, it is very important that researchers have a simple and
lightweight method of sharing and reproducing such volumetric
data. In this paper, we explore some of the challenges associated
with volume rendering, both from a classical sense and from the
context of Web3D technologies. We describe and evaluate the pro-
posed X3D Volume Rendering Component and its associated styles
for their suitability in the visualization of several types of image
data. Additionally, we examine the ability for a minimal X3D node
set to capture provenance and semantic information from outside
ontologies in metadata and integrate it with the scene graph
Application of digital interferogram evaluation techniques to the measurement of 3-D flow fields
A system for digitally evaluating interferograms, based on an image processing system connected to a host computer, was implemented. The system supports one- and two-dimensional interferogram evaluations. Interferograms are digitized, enhanced, and then segmented. The fringe coordinates are extracted, and the fringes are represented as polygonal data structures. Fringe numbering and fringe interpolation modules are implemented. The system supports editing and interactive features, as well as graphic visualization. An application of the system to the evaluation of double exposure interferograms from the transonic flow field around a helicopter blade and the reconstruction of the three dimensional flow field is given
