Voxel Data Processing on a Transputer Network

Abstract

With the growing availability of 3D scanning devices like Computer Tomographs (CT) or Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopes (CLSM) the need for high performance volume data (voxel) processing and display systems increased enormously. The recent development of a fast CLSM by IMW-TNO required a visualisation tool of matching performance. FEL-TNO was involved in the CLSM project because of its expertise in the area of fast visulaization techniques using parallel processing. The FEL-TNO task in the project was to develop an experimental system that demonstrates the potential of parallel processing for volume rendering applications. This report describes the development, implementation and evaluation of the prototype 3D image processing system.
