Abstract

Traditional volume rendering methods are too slow to provide interactive visualization, especially for large 3D data sets. The PVR system implements parallel volume rendering techniques that speed up the visualization process. Moreover, it helps computational scientists, engineers, and physicians to more effectively apply volume rendering to visualization tasks.
