Abstract

Ray casting Algorithm is one of the basic algorithms used in the volume rendering of three dimensional data, which has a good operating and a simple description, but there are some obvious problems on the rendering speed and the precision. In this paper, a new intelligent volume rendering method, integrated the particle swarm optimization on transfer function design with the Ray-leaping rendering algorithm, is described, which make up the lack of rendering speed and precision in traditional ray casting algorithm. Then, the MITK is used to render a skull CT image sequence.
