Interactive Curvature Tensor Visualization

ICTV (Interactive Curvature Tensor Visualization) is an opensource (GPL) OpenGL tool to visualize large volumetric data isosurfaces in realtime. This tool also combines the isosurface extraction with a GPU curvature tensor estimation (mean/gaussian curvature, principal curvature directions...) allowing a realtime exploration of the tensor with different parameter values.

This work has been presented at DGCI 2016. Please cite this project as follows:

This tool requires OpenGL 4.4 (see below for other library dependencies).

Build & Run

cd src/GKIT
premake4 gmake
make ICTV
./ICTV <data> <type> <size> [light]

• <type>: 1 - .raw files
  2 - Enter a piece of glsl code filling a variable h with the implicit fonction to render. x, y, and z are available variables containing the position of the vertex in [-10:10]. t is a variable containing the time elapsed is seconds. A point (x,y,z) is considered inside if h < 0.

• <size>: resolution of the dataset

• <light>: If a fourth argument is given (whatever its value), the application is run in light mode. It requires less GPU memory but does not allow to export the data

Example

#loading the bunny
./ICTV ../../data/raw/bunny_border_67.raw 1 67
#loading the moving sinus cardinal
./ICTV "float d=(abs(sin(0.5*t))+0.5) * sqrt(x*x+z*z)+0.01; h=y - (10*(sin(d)/d));" 2 128
#loading the octa flower in light mode
./ICTV ../../data/raw/octa-flower-130_border.raw 1 130 1
