Simple global threshold-based porosity detection algorithms usually fail to deliver meaningful results. Other adaptive methods can handle image artefacts, but require long preprocessing times. This makes an efficient analysis workflow infeasible. We propose an alternative approach for analyzing and visualizing volume defects in a fully interactive manner, where analyzing volumes becomes more of an interactive exploration instead of time-consuming parameter guessing interrupted by long processing times. Our system is based on a highly efficient GPU implementation of a segmentation algorithm for porosity detection. The runtime is on the order of seconds for a full volume and parametrization is kept simple due to a single threshold parameter. A fully interactive user interface comprised of multiple linked views allows to quickly identify defects of interest, while filtering out artefacts even in noisy areas.", month = feb, booktitle = "International Conference on Industrial Computed Tomography (ICT) 2019", editor = "Simone Carmignato", event = "International Conference on Industrial Computed Tomography (ICT) 2019", location = "Padova, Italy", pages = "1--6", keywords = "CT, GPU, Inclusion Detection, Interactive Visualisation, VisualAnalysis, Parallel Coordinates, Volume Rendering", URL = "https://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/research/publications/2019/STEINLECHNER-2019-ICT/", }
