Abstract:
This talk introduces our method for precise 3D see-through imaging of the
large-scale and complex point clouds that are acquired via the laser scanning of
3D cultural heritage objects. Our method is based on a stochastic algorithm and directly uses 3D points acquired using a laser scanner as the rendering primitives. The method achieves quick rendering and the correct depth feel without the necessity of depth sorting the rendering primitives along the line of sight. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by applying it to festival
floats of high cultural value. Application of the method to other fields such asmedical and visualization and scientific visualization is also explained.
