Inheritance diagram for GlVolumeRendererGlobalIllum:

Detailed Description

GlVolumeRenderer that supports global illumination in terms of shadows and local ambient occlusion.

Using this renderer will provide an improved visual appearance by showing shadows in regions that are occluded by its surroundings. This improves depth perception and yields a generally more realistic rendering outcome.

The current implementation does support rendering multiple volumes at the same time, as well as masks. However, this renderer currently does not support displaying deformations.

This renderer requires OpenGL 4.3 hardware.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ChromaDepthMode

enum class ChromaDepthMode

strong

Options when to apply gradient-free chroma-depth shading, which tints voxels depending on the local distance to the camera.

This mode is mainly intended for image data with low signal-to-noise ratio such as Ultrasound since it does not rely on local gradients.

Enumerator
Off	Do not use chroma-depth rendering mode for any image.
UltrasoundOnly	Use chroma-depth rendering mode for images with Modality::ULTRASOUND only.
On	Use chroma-depth rendering mode for all images.

Member Function Documentation

◆ name()

std::string name ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the name for identification/GUI usage of this volume renderer.

Implements GlVolumeRenderer.

◆ render()

void render	(	const GL::ViewState &	viewState,
		const RenderTextures &	renderTextures )

overridevirtual

Renders the data in the given configuration.

Parameters

viewState	OpenGL state describing projection and model-view matrix to use for rendering
renderTextures	Struct holding all the render textures to use

Note: The dimensions of all provided textures must be equivalent.

Implements GlVolumeRenderer.

◆ imageData()

SharedImageSet * imageData ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the first SharedImageSet that is rendered by this GlVolumeRenderer.

Note: This is merely a low-level convenience function. Please use GlVolumeRenderer::data() or ImageView3D::visibleData() on the parent view in order to get all shown data.

Implements GlVolumeRenderer.

◆ supportsOITIntegration()

bool supportsOITIntegration ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns whether this renderer supports the order-independent integration of semi-transparent scene geometry.

This flag is queried by GlVolumeView to determine whether blending OIT fragments is performed by the volume renderer (return true) or whether it should be done by the GlVolumeView prior to letting the GlVolumeRenderer render (return false). The default implementation returns false.
