Reconstruction Schemes for High Quality Raycasting of the Body-Centered Cubic Grid
TR-186-2-02-11, December 2002 [ paper]
Information
  • Publication Type: Technical Report
  • Keywords: body-centered cubic grid, interpolation, raycasting

Abstract
The body-centered cubic (BCC) grid has received attention in the volume visualization community recently due to its ability to represent the same data with almost 30\% fewer samples as compared to the Cartesian cubic (CC) grid. In this paper we present several resampling strategies for raycasting BCC grids. These strategies range from 2D interpolation in planes to piece-wise linear (barycentric) interpolation in a tetrahedral decomposition of the grid to trilinear and sheared trilinear interpolation. We compare them to raycasting with comparable resampling techniques in the commonly used CC grid in terms of computational complexity and visual quality.
