摘要
We present a very rapid method of constructing realistic images of 3-dimensional (3D) objects on a 2-dimensional (2D) display screen. Our technique is well suited to objects represented by slices, since it traverses the slices in a front-to-back sequence relative to the observer, accessing each slice just once. A dynamic data structure - the dynamic screen - is used to represent the unlit screen pixels. When each slice is accessed, only unlit pixels are processed and newly-lit pixels are efficiently removed from the data structure. Implementation of the method for large medical objects results in display times significantly faster than previous software methods.
