Abstract: The ray casting algorithm is widely used in volume rendering technology due to its mature algorithm and high imaging quality. To solve the problems of large amount of calculation and long rendering time caused by high-quality images, the problems of re-sampling point interpolation and time-consuming synthesis in the volume rendering process based on the traditional ray casting algorithm are studied, and an improved adaptive compound interpolation ray casting algorithm is proposed. According to the set threshold range, the size of the retreating sampling step is adjusted to select the interpolation sampling point and interpolation algorithm, and the re-sampling and interpolation process are optimized. The experimental results show that the speed of the improved method is significantly improved compared with the traditional volume rendering algorithm under the guarantee of the required image quality.
