<br>Hi Markus,<br><br><br>Thanks for sharing the extended <br>framework for DRR generation.<br><br><br>I found your report to be EXCELLENT !<br><br><a href="http://ibia.umit.at/ResearchGroup/Phil/web/Simple2D3DRegistrationFramework.html">http://ibia.umit.at/ResearchGroup/Phil/web/Simple2D3DRegistrationFramework.html</a><br>
<br><br> You just have shown us how a REAL <br> scientific paper should be published <br> in our field.<br><br><br>1) It is online<br><br>2) It is freely accessible<br><br>3) It includes the source code<br><br>4) It even includes binaries for several<br>
platforms<br><br>5) It has a clear copyright notice<br> and a generous license.<br><br>6) It doesn't waste time in the delusional<br> exercise that most papers in journals<br> and conferences do for "comparing"<br>
with other methods, with the obvious<br> intent to show the "superiority" of theirs.<br> (anyone who knows how to make <br> comparisons notice that the typical<br> papers in our field are just pretending<br>
to provide the appearance of comparison<br> with the legerdemain attitude of coming <br> up on top of other methods. <br> Simple "marketing")<br><br><br>7) It shows direct data from experiments<br>
and clearly describes how someone<br> else could repeat them.<br><br>8) It is the kind of technical report that<br> clearly shows that it was intended <br> to be read, understood and used by<br> peers.<br>
<br><br><br>It is quite refreshing to see a REAL paper,<br>worth of the Information Age, instead of<br>the decrepit material that we see so often<br>in journals and conferences.<br><br><br>Maybe there is hope for this field after all...<br>

<br>
you can rescale the intensities of the 3D volume before you pass it to<br>
the RayCastInterpolateImageFunction.<br>
Or you can use an extended framework for DRR generation which is<br>
available at:<br>
<a href="http://ibia.umit.at/ResearchGroup/Phil/web/Simple2D3DRegistrationFramework.html" target="_blank">http://ibia.umit.at/ResearchGroup/Phil/web/Simple2D3DRegistrationFramework.html</a><br>
(see source.zip in the directory DRR:<br>
RayCastPerspectiveProjectionImageFilter). It has a built-in<br>
Intensity-Transfer-Function support.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
