Abstract

This paper presents an extension of visual attention maps into 3D, where eye fixation points become cylinders, and the visual attention map becomes a volume. This Volume Visual Attention Map(VVAM)is used to dynamically enhance ray-casting based direct volume rendering visualization online. The practical application of this idea into the biomedical image visualization field is explored for interactive visualization.
