Embodiment
The example embodiment of the present invention of Miao Shuing generally comprises the system and method that is used to make the multi-object volume visualization herein.For brevity, all features that well known to a person skilled in the art actual realization are not all described in detail in this article.
As used herein, term " image " is meant the multidimensional data that is made of discrete picture element (for example voxel in the pixel of 2-D image and the 3-D image).Image can be for example computing machine X tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound wave or well known to a person skilled in the art the medical imaging of the object that any other medical image system is collected.Image can also be provided by the non-medical category of for example remote sensing system, electron microscope etc.Though image can be from R 3To the function of R, but method of the present invention is not limited to this type of image, but can also be applicable to the image of any dimension, for example 2-D picture or 3-D body.For two dimension or 3-D view, the territory of image is two dimension or three-dimensional rectangle array normally, wherein can utilize the mutually perpendicular axle of a group 2 or 3 quoted each pixel of addressing or voxel.Term used herein " numeral " and " digitizing " are meant via digitally captured system or by changing the corresponding digital of acquisition or the image or the body of digitized format from analog image.
The term volume drawing is meant one group of technology that is used for three-dimensional data drawn or be shown on the two-dimentional display image.Basic operation in the volume drawing is the sampling of volume data.Because these data disperse, so the sampling task of carrying out during drawing is that the volume data of will sample is re-sampled to another group from one group of discrete location.In order to draw the high quality graphic of whole body, should carefully select the resampling position, then the intensity level that obtains is mapped to optical characteristics, for example color and opacity, and they is made up to preceding order to back or back by preceding.
Texture comprises one type surface applications in 3-D view, and typically refers to the sequence of operation that Graphics Processing Unit is carried out.Texture can be considered as the 2D or the 3D array of color value or gray-scale value, and its coordinate is in 0.0 to 1.0 scope.Because the actual array in the storer will be stored as for example N%M array of 2D texture, thus Graphics Processing Unit with each coordinate figure convert to scope (0...N-1) or (0...M-1) in numerical value, as the situation in this example.Graphic operation is to the discrete grid block resampling of texture, to obtain the texture value of the position of misfitting with original mesh.These resampling positions generate with following steps: utilize the texture coordinate of interpolation to draw the proxy geometry that puts on the initial body grid, the texture coordinate of these interpolations is made of the section of the grid that is plotted as texture usually, and from front to back all sections of this proxy geometry is made up.Volume data itself can be stored in one or more textures of two dimension or three-dimensional.
When considering to comprise the three-dimensional data of image volumetric data, can imagine geometric object is put on this.When drawing this geometric object, can will be inserted in object inside in the attribute as texture coordinate, and can specify the texture coordinate of one group of correspondence each graphics fragment that generates.These coordinates can be used at the one or more textures of corresponding position resampling.If specify texture coordinate, and image field itself is stored in one or more texture map (texture map), then can locates at an arbitrary position this quarry sampling as long as from the texture coordinate of interpolation, obtain these corresponding to the coordinate in the scalar image field.The set that is used to obtain to the geometric object of all required resampling positions of whole sampler body is called proxy geometry, because data contained in it and the image volume itself do not have intrinsic relation, but in these positions the purpose of texture map sampling is existed then for generating the resampling position.
An example of proxy geometry is one group of section as tetragonal the align what comes into a driver's parallel with viewport, and these sections are normally sheared by the frame of image volume.Be inserted in the inner 3D texture coordinate of these sections in these sections comprise, and these sections can be used in the corresponding position to single 3D texture map sampling.Proxy geometry with employed texture type, be that 2D or 3D are closely relevant.When section with respect to original image volume towards being arbitrarily the time, then need the 3D texture, because single section must be extracted data from a plurality of 2D textures.If but when proxy geometry and initial body data alignment, the texture that then can guarantee single section extracts operation and is in the identical 2D texture.In this case, proxy geometry comprises the section of the group objects aligning that 2D texture ability is enough to meet the demands.
Therefore,, can sample to initial body, thereby the pixel that generates is mixed with the previous pixel that generates in specific location by drawing geometric objects with texture.The pixel of these generations is sometimes referred to as fragment.This method is iteration on the individual pixel of the plane of delineation not, but goes up iteration in " part " of object.These parts usually are included in the section on the whole body, only just can obtain the net result of each pixel after having handled all sections that help given pixel.
According to the embodiment of the invention, can use the proxy geometry of single combination that a plurality of objects are visual, rather than use a plurality of proxy geometry, promptly one by one corresponding to each by visual object.The voxel of the proxy geometry of combination has different texture coordinates for each individual subject, and this is a kind of characteristic that is called multi-texturing.Because new proxy geometry no longer is bound by the actual range of data set, so texture coordinate is not limited to reference to the active position in the associated texture.This has increased the dirigibility of selecting proxy geometry, and the more complicated method of permission is come the data set visualization to merging.
Fig. 1 diagram is according to the comparison of the embodiment of the invention with the proxy geometry of the proxy geometry of data set constraint and combination.On the left side is illustrated to be two textures, is labeled as texture 1 and texture 2, respectively is used for the different objects of map image body.Each texture has its proxy geometry of aiming at direction of observation, and proxy geometry is represented by the thick line by texture.This accompanying drawing should be considered as vertical view, so as proxy geometry actual be 2D plane or the flat board vertical with the plane of accompanying drawing.Each proxy geometry two ends is at right side, texture coordinate 1.0 places of left side, texture coordinate 0.0 place and its respective texture of its respective texture.Two proxy geometry that this accompanying drawing diagram need be considered when two objects of drafting overlapping.This accompanying drawing the right illustrates the proxy geometry of the combination of drawing two textures.According to the embodiment of the invention, graphics subsystem can be configured to the texture that effective texture is outer and quote the background value that is mapped to definition, and this can be transparent.In this embodiment, texture coordinate can have negative value or greater than 1.0 value.The coordinate that present shape library allows user definition to have these scopes, and allow the user to specify in the value of supposing by texture in these scopes.With reference to this accompanying drawing, the proxy geometry of illustrated combination exceeds the edge of two textures in the accompanying drawing.Can reference texture 1 or texture 2 proxy geometry of this combination is specified texture coordinate.The t of left margin 1The value 2.3 on value-0.2 and edge, the right relates to texture 1, and t 2Value-0.8 and 1.2 relates to texture 2.The texture with the direction of observation misalignment can be more easily drawn at the edge that proxy geometry is extended beyond texture.Can carry out the fusion of different texture by the parts that graphic process unit provides.
Typical graphics subsystem allows the programmability in graphics pipeline, summit and the fragment shader in two stages.According to the embodiment of the invention, can use fragment shader individual element ground combination texture dataset, thereby comprehensive control that data are merged is provided.Therefore, can realize being used to make up the value of each texture dataset from simple to the complex rule system.These rules comprise arithmetical operation, thresholding, masking-outization, index, classification, mixing, shadowing method, cut out etc.By checking the scope of texture coordinate, can determine easily which data set has effective contribution to the result who merges.For example, refer again to Fig. 1, if the t of proxy geometry 1Coordinate is in effective texture range, but t 2Do not exist, then the texture value from texture 1 helps net result.Similarly, if the t of proxy geometry 2Coordinate is in effective texture range, but t 1Do not exist, then the texture value from texture 2 helps net result.If t 1And t 2All in effective range, then two textures all help net result to coordinate, and use these rules one of them determine the Relative Contribution size of each texture value.At last, if two coordinates not in effective range, then two textures do not help final drawing result.
