Abstract

This paper proposes comparison and visualization techniques to carry out parameter studies for the special application area of dimensional measurement using 3D X-ray computed tomography~(ICT). A dataset series is generated by scanning a specimen multiple times by varying parameters of an industrial CT device. A high resolution series is explored using our multi-planar reformating (MPR) based exploration system. We present an evaluation system~(multi-image view) and an edge explorer for comparison and visualization of grey values and edges of several datasets simultaneously. Visualization results and quantitative data are displayed side by side. For fast data retrieval and convenient usability we use bricking of the datasets, and efficient data structures. Graphics hardware is used for interactive visualization. We studied the applicability of our proposed visualization techniques in collaboration with our company partners.
