Abstract:
Volume rendering is performed by a method, comprising: obtaining an original volume data, transforming the original volume data based on a distance from a viewpoint to the original volume data, to generate transformed volume data, generating particles from the transformed volume data, and projecting the particles on an image plane to obtain a 2D image corresponding to the original volume data.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n obtaining original volume data; transforming the original volume data, based on a distance from a viewpoint to a cross-sectional plane of the original volume data, to generate transformed volume data, wherein the cross-sectional plane is parallel to an image plane, wherein a length of the transformed volume data intersecting the cross-sectional plane is equal to a length of the original volume data projected on the image plane toward the viewpoint; dividing the transformed volume data into a plurality of voxels; for each voxel of the plurality of voxels, generating a particle from the transformed volume data with a probability corresponding to: \u2212log(1\u2212an opacity of each voxel), wherein the original volume data includes the opacity for each voxel; projecting the particles on an image plane to generate a 2D image corresponding to the original volume data, wherein:\n a normal vector of the image plane is parallel to a direction of the projecting the particles, \n the 2D image includes a plurality of pixels, and \n wherein a size and shape of each pixel of the 2D image is identical to a size and shape of each particle projected on the image plane; \n generating a plurality of the 2D images corresponding to the original volume data; and averaging the plurality of the 2D images to generate an ensemble 2D image.
