Volumevis - Volume Rendering

Welcome to the Volumevis Homepage!

Volumevis is a simple opensource app for viewing volume datasets using volume rendering. View the screenshots.

Debian packages available Christoph Spuhler 2005-08-15

Debian package is now available, thanks to Cyril Brulebois.

Release of new version 0.6.2 Christoph Spuhler 2005-08-02

Get it here. Just a bunch of bugfixes.

Developers needed! Christoph Spuhler 2005-08-02

I'd like to add some needed features to Volumevis, but don't really have the time! If you're interested in helping out, let me know! Some areas needing work are:

GUI improvements

Volume rendering adaptations to older hardware

Install scripts and packages

Documentation

many other things ...

Release of new version 0.6.1 Christoph Spuhler 2005-04-12

After a long pause, a much improved new version is now available from the download page. Improvements include:

Entirely modular structure

Surface Rendering

Added loading of .raw, .rfv, .wrl, and .3ds formats

Easier to compile

Many bugfixes

Forum is up and new version coming soon Christoph Spuhler 2005-02-02

It's been some time since the last update. Actually, a lot has changed since then. The structure of the volumevis application has been entirely changed to be very modular. Overall, Volumevis is now much more stable and easier to extend. The new version (with documentation and description) should be up shortly.

Meanwhile, there's now a forum for general and developer questions.

API documentation added. Christoph Spuhler 2004-09-13

API documentation (courtesy doxygen) can now be viewed here.

New Version 0.4. Christoph Spuhler 2004-08-11

I put Volumevis 0.4 up for download. Improvements include:

Volume Colorization based on greyscale values

Region growing

Various bug fixes

Sources available. Christoph Spuhler 2004-04-14

Sources are now available for download.

Binary available. Christoph Spuhler 2004-02-01

I've put a binary for linux on the download page . Please give it a try. Source code will follow. I'm also trying to find some 3D datasets for people who don't have any.

Initial release. Christoph Spuhler 2004-02-01

Initial Release of Volumevis, version 0.1 . The program currently runs on Linux and allows the basic display of pixel-based volume data (please see the Description section for more details). Current supported features are:

Loading of 3-dimensional pixel data which are stored in the form of 2-dimensional slices of consecutively numbered image files (dicom, tiff, jpg, and others supported)

Rotating of the 3D image

Cropping of the 3D image

Scaling of the 3D image

Five possible views with a choice between original, inverted, distancemap and volume, xslice, yslice and zslice.

Know Problems/Limitations

Program has only been tested with GeForce 4/FX card.

At the moment only loading of greyscale images is possible.

Note: This is a work in progress. Many things are not implemented or don't work yet.

Note2: Practically no testing has been done on other machines and with graphics cards other than the GeForce 4/FX. Theoretically the program should run on windows, but it hasn't been tried. If you have tried it on other machines, please let me know if it works or not.
