Abstract:
Method of displaying in actual 3D space a set of 3D data containing densely spaced data points, the method comprising the steps of:(1) determining in said set of 3D data a number of spatial regions, each said region being of a different property or of a different range of data value; (2) creating a number of surfaces or curves along the boundary of each said region, each said surface or curve enclosing and separating a said region; (3) creating a number of sets of scattered points of different spatial distribution density, each said set of scattered points corresponding to one of said regions; (4) collecting the data of said surfaces, said curves, and said scattered points into a set of viewable data; (5) displaying said viewable data in actual 3D space by using a volumetric 3D display.
