Abstract

The article evaluates a method for enabling progressive client-server volume visualization of data from the computing grid.Rendering is performed on clients, while servers on the grid provide volume data in wavelet-compressed form. The client prioritizes regions of the volume based on visibility. High-priority portions of the volume are transmitted at higher resolution by controlling local filtering of wavelet coefficients on the server.The data distribution efficiently uses available communication bandwidth to obtain the most relevant data.
