Support of out-of-core volume data (using VolumeViz LDM)
VolumeViz LDM (for Large Data Management) enables access to out-of-core data with optimized multi-resolution management.
VolumeViz
LDM also provides a rich data access API that allows applications to
take advantage of the LDM technology for accessing data associated
with a sub-volume, plane, point or poly-line at arbitrary resolution.
This makes VolumeViz LDM not just a visualization toolkit but also a
powerful middleware for volume data management.
- Very powerful and flexible memory management (LDM)
- High-level object-oriented data access API
- Very large volumes, fast data loading and interactive even on low-end machines
State-of-the-art volume rendering
- Direct volume rendering using 2D or 3D textures
- Fast rendering of volume «skin» for opaque subvolumes
- Faux shading, Edge coloring
- High-quality rendering, lighting and isosurfaces accelerated by GPU
- Mapping of volume data onto arbitrary geometry
Multi-data support
- Mixed volume and polygon data
- Volume rendering, slicing, iso-surface display, and embedded 3D geometry
- Multiple-dataset support (multi-channel rendering)
Data-transforming and data-combining
- VolumeViz supports multiple data sets with data-transforming and data-combining techniques, as well as render combining for even faster and higher quality visualization.
