Abstract
The particle-based surface rendering (PBSR) is a method for transparent rendering using opaque particles and probabilistic determination of surface opacity. The target of this paper is to develop a transparent texture mapping technique in the framework of the particle-based surface rendering. Our method enables precise transparent rendering of implicit surfaces with colorful textures mapped. We investigate parallel and perspective projections of a texture image to the particles that are rendering primitives of the PBSR. We demonstrate that using our texture mapping method in the fused visualization is a unique feature of the PBSR.
