Description

A crucial step in volume rendering is the design of transfer functions that will highlight those aspects of the volume data that are of interest to the user. For many applications, boundaries carry most of the relevant information. Reliable detection of boundaries is often hampered by limitations of the imaging process, such as blurring and noise.
LH-Histograms is a method to identify the materials that form the boundaries. These materials are then used in a new domain that facilitates interactive and semi-automatic design of appropriate transfer functions.

Task

Implementation of an existing algorithm to generate the LH-histogram. An implementation of an editor to design a transfer function for the LH-histogram. Finally, a visualization for the data based on the LH-histogram should be implemented. All the implementations should be done for the Volumeshop framework.

Requirements

- Interest in Computer Graphics.
- Programming skills in C++ and GLSL (Shader Programming).
