A Short description of the modules needed to integrate a CUDA based Volume Rendering into VTK
VTK Modules
- A vtkImageReader: to read Volume data as any kind of Volume Data
- A vtkCudaImageFilter: A Filter to convert from the reader output to a cuda-able DataSet
- A vtkCudaDataSet: A new vtkDataSet where that holds and handles the data transfer from and to one or multiple CUDA devices.
- A vtkCudaVolumeMapper: A new vtkVolumeMapper that renders the scene using the
- lighting model
- a prepared Z buffer
- a camera position
- A [vtkTexture] and a Plane to render the result to
- An actor that places the volume into the scene
- Chain this pipeline together and attach it to a rendering window.
Tasks
- Proof of concept
- Integrate into VTK
- Render the output from the code of Nicholas volume render sample into vtkImageViewer
- Adapt to Z-buffer
- Adapt lighting model
- Adapt to input Image
- Integration into Slicer
