Abstract :
This article describes a novel approach to the real-time visualization and 3D rendering using neural networks. The neural network model is proposed in this paper for optimal control with control constraints. We consider 3D metamorphosis applied to volume-based representations of objects. We discuss the issues which arise in volume morphing and present a method for creating morphs. The technique of volume ray casting can be derived directly from the rending equation. It provides results of very high quality.
