Table 4 Comparative analysis of surface and volume rendering techniques

From: Segmentation and visualization of the Shampula dragonfly eye glass bead CT images using a deep learning method

Criteria

Surface rendering

Volume rendering

Algorithm features

Retains only the external surface; internal details are lost

Utilizes opacity to reveal internal hierarchical structures

Reconstruction quality

Clear but lacks pathological details

Retains overall details and structural complexity

Running time

Fast

Slow

Major deficiency

Insufficient edge extraction leads to blurriness

Prone to noise overlap

Usage scenario

Suitable for scenarios requiring basic structural details

Ideal for detailed internal structure analysis
