摘要: Abstract There are several ways to compute a shaded surface display of radiological 3D density volumes. In this paper we evaluate 12 methods which different combinations principles for detection the be displayed (gray-value threshold, gradient zero-crossing 2nd derivative), localizing in space (grid-point accuracy, subvoxel accuracy) and finally estimating direction normal (from 213 depth image, from 3D-volume). The best quality is obtained by detection, localization, 3D-gradient orientation.
