Real-Time Architecture for High Resolution Volume Visualization
Hanspeter Pfister, Arie E. Kaufman · 1993
This paper describes a high-performance &pecial-purpose system, the Cube-3 machine, fordisplaying and manipulating high-resolution volumetric datasets in real-time. Cube-3 will allowscientists, engineers, and biomedical researchers to interactively visualize and investigate theirstatic high-resolution sampled, simulated, or computed volumetric dataset. Furthermore, onceacquisition devices or mechanisms are capable of acquiring a complete high-resolution dynamicdataset in real-time, Cube-S, tightly coupled with them, will be capable of delivering real-time 4D(spatial-temporal) volume visualization, a task currently not possible with present technologies.
