Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel framework which can fuse multiple user selected features in different direct volume rendered images into a comprehensive image according to users’ preference. The framework relies on three techniques, i.e., user voting, genetic algorithm, and image similarity. In this framework, we transform the fusing problem to an optimization problem with a novel energy function which is based on user voting and image similarity. The optimization problem can then be solved by the genetic algorithm. Experimental results on some real volume data demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
