Visualização Volumétrica com Otimizações de Ray Casting e Detecção de Bordas

Ray Casting is a useful volume visualization technique that has a high computational cost. We propose some optimizations to the ray casting algorithm for previewing volume data. We also propose a simple classification technique, based on a 3D edge detection algorithm, that produces good images. We compare our results with the latest algorithm presented by Lacroute and Levoy.
