Method and visualization apparatus for the volumetric visualization of a three-dimensional object

摘要

A three-dimensional object is provided within a light probe, at least one intensive light source of the light probe is detected and selected. Furthermore, a multiplicity of rays are simulated for a respective visualization pixel. For a respective ray entering into an object volume, i) a scattering position is determined, ii) a scattering direction is selected, with a decision being made depending on a first random process as to whether the ray is scattered in the direction of the intensive light source or in a scattering direction to be selected depending on a second random process, and iii) the ray is scattered in the selected scattering direction. Steps i) to iii) are repeated until the ray is absorbed in the object volume or emerges from the object volume and impinges on the light probe.
