Abstract

The frequency domain volume rendering approach generates line integral projections of spatial data utilizing the Fourier Projection-Slice Theorem. Compared to spatial domain rendering, the computational cost is reduced from O(N³) to O(N²logN). However, this rendering technique has limited ability for interaction or manipulation of the rendered data. One of the common operations in the manipulation of volume data is planar-clipping or sectioning which reduces the visual complexity of the data and improves our ability to visualize information contained within the volume data. A method to implement spatial volume clipping in the frequency domain is described.
