Non-photorealistic volume rendering of ultrasonic data

摘要

A non-photorealistic image of a volume is rendered with ultrasound data as a function of a geometric primitive. A geometric primitive is identified and geometric primitive information is used for ultrasound image processing. The image is created such that each pixel in the image is one of a limited number of labels, such as two or three, based on the geometric primitive information for each pixel. The non-photorealistic image is created such that each label represents a pixel of an image wherein each pixel is one of a limited number of colors depending on the value of the label
