7.6. Volume Rendering
The following diagrams and video illustrate the basic concept of volume rendering.
You should now have a fair idea of what the following VTK.js example is doing:
For the above example, the instructions for use are here.
Other types of volume rendering include:
MIP = Maximum Intensity Projection. For each ray, just extract the maximum value along the ray path.
Average Intensity Projection. Like MIP, but extract average intensity. Not widely used.
Minimum Intensity Projection. Like MIP, but extract minimum intensity. Not widely used.
