Memory-Efficient On-the-Fly Voxelization and Rendering of Particle Data.

In this paper we present a novel GPU-friendly real-time voxelization technique for rendering homogeneous media that is defined by particles, e.g., fluids obtained from particle-based simulations such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH).

Extinction-Optimized Volume Illumination.

We present a novel method to optimize the attenuation of light for the single scattering model in direct volume rendering. A common problem of single scattering is the high dynamic range between lit and shadowed regions due to the exponential attenuation of light along a ray. Moreover, light is often attenuated too strong between a sample point and the camera, hampering the visibility of important features.
