Virtual Endoscopy using Spherical QuickTime-VR Panorama Views
Ulf Tiede, Norman von Sternberg-Gospos, Steiner Paul, Höhne Karl Heinz · Studies in health technology and informatics · 2002
Virtual endoscopy needs some precomputation of the data (segmentation, path finding) before the diagnostic process can take place. We propose a method that precomputes multinode spherical panorama movies using Quick-Time VR. This technique allows almost the same navigation and visualization capabilities as a real endoscopic procedure, a significant reduction of interaction input is achieved and the movie represents a document of the procedure.
