Physics-Based Visualization of Dense Natural Clouds. II. Cloud-Rendering Algorithm
Abstract:
We discuss the representation of aerosol-scattering properties, boundary information, and the use of these results in line-of-sight rendering applications for visualization of a modeled atmosphere based on a discrete ordinates three-dimensional radiative-transport method. The outputs of the radiative-transfer model provide spatial and angular distributions of limiting path radiance, given an input density distribution and external illumination conditions. We discuss the determination of the direct attenuated radiance, integrated path radiance, and background radiance for each pixel in the rendered scene. Orthographic and perspective projection approaches for displaying these results are described, and sample images are shown.
