Volumetric Video Compression and Interactive Playback

VolVideo is an interactive browser visualizing compressed and raw time-varying volumetric data. It supports hardware accelerated volume rendering and fast isosurface extraction.

For more pictures, animations, and interactive viz. of macromolecular structures using VolVideo, please visit here.

Features

  • project overview ( overall description, image&video example, applications, and etc )
  • uses CVCvolume rendering library and supports fast volume rendering with clipping plane and color map manipulation
  • reads compressed or raw time-varying volumetric data
  • allows interactive browsing of time-varying data
  • supports combined rendering of isosurfaces and a volume
  • written in C++ with QT interface. The code runs in Windows and Linux.

Tutorial We have a tutorial to familiarize you with VolVideo.
