AbstractTechniken der Volumenvisualisierung werden zur räumlichen Darstellung dreidimensionaler Skalarfelder benötigt, wie sie beispielsweise in der Medizin in Form von tomografischen Daten entstehen. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Ansätzen, hochqualitative Bilder solcher Volumendaten in Echtzeit mithilfe handelsüblicher Grafikkarten zu erzeugen.

The procedure of volume rendering techniques is introduced. The principles and methods of two kinds of different volume rendering techniques of 3D spatial data are discussed. Application of Marching Cubes (MC) algorithm in the modeling of geological objects is given. This algorithm is modified and improved in several aspects. The asymptotic decider algorithm is employed to solve the ambiguity problem and oct-tree structure is used to reduce the number of polygons generated, which will increases the efficiency of the algorithm. The improved algorithm is applied to real geological data obtained from an iron mine in China. Real data derived from an iron mine of China demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the system and the algorithms.

We are using Data Explorer (DX), a general-purpose, interactive visualization program developed by IBM, to perform three-dimensional reconstructions of neural structures from microscopic or optical sections. We use the program on a Silicon Graphics workstation; it also can run on Sun, IBM RS/6000, and Hewlett Packard workstations. DX comprises modular building blocks that the user assembles into data-flow networks for specific uses. Many modules come with the program, but others, written by users (including ourselves), are continually being added and are available at the DX ftp site, http://www.tc.cornell.edu/DXhttp://www.nice.org.uk/page.aspx?o=43210.Initally, our efforts were aimed at developing methods for isosurface- and volume-rendering of structures visible in three-dimensional stacks of optical sections of insect brains gathered on our Bio-Rad MRC-600 laser scanning confocal microscope. We also wanted to be able to merge two 3-D data sets (collected on two different photomultiplier channels) and to display them at various angles of view.

The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) originally designed for rendering graphics and which is difficult to program for other tasks, has since evolved into a device suitable for general-purpose computations. As a result graphics hardware has become progressively more attractive yielding unprecedented performance at a relatively low cost. Thus, it is the ideal candidate to accelerate a wide variety of data parallel tasks in many fields such as in Machine Learning (ML). As problems become more and more demanding, parallel implementations of learning algorithms are crucial for a useful application. In particular, the implementation of Neural Networks (NNs) in GPUs can significantly reduce the long training times during the learning process. In this paper we present a GPU parallel implementation of the Back-Propagation (BP) and Multiple Back-Propagation (MBP) algorithms, and describe the GPU kernels needed for this task. The results obtained on well-known benchmarks show faster training times and improved performances as compared to the implementation in traditional hardware, due to maximized floating-point throughput and memory bandwidth. Moreover, a preliminary GPU based Autonomous Training System (ATS) is developed which aims at automatically finding high-quality NNs-based solutions for a given problem.
