Description
The LiveSync interaction metaphor synchronizes the 2D slice view with the volumetric view to improve the efficiency of diagnosis in the clinical routine. The generation of a meaningful 3D visualization is desirable because often there is not enough contextual information provided by the slice views only. While it is easy to navigate through the slices, the interaction effort to adjust the parameters for the volumetric view is rather high. Some of the major time-consuming tasks are the localization of the feature of interest, the setup of a good viewpoint, the removal of occluding structures via clipping geometries and the adjustment of the zoom factor. LiveSync extracts the needed information to set up all these parameters by a simple picking on a structure of interest in the slice view.
Task
| In the scope of LiveSync Interaction there are many interesting topics to work on, e.g., segmentation, transfer function, or performance issues. Based on your prior knowledge and interests we can define a specific topic. The framework for your implementations will be a highly innovative real-world medical workstation which is under development of our collaborative company partner. You have the chance to work in a creative environment and we are looking forward to the contribution of your ideas. |
Requirements
Good knowledge and high interest in computer graphics and visualization, good programming skills (Java)Additional Information
