Internal Labels as Shape Cues for Medical Illustration
In this paper we describe an interactive labeling algorithm, which
allows to integrate internal 3D labels into medical visualizations
generated from volumetric data sets. The proposed algorithm is
motivated by internal labeling techniques found in anatomical
atlases, and in contrast to existing algorithms it provides
additional shape cues by fitting internal labels to the depth
structure of their associated objects. In this paper we discuss
guidelines for the layout of internal 3D labels and describe our
labeling algorithm, which extends 2D shape fitting and introduces 3D
shape fitting. Furthermore we propose related interaction concepts
and provide application examples.
