A simple hidden line removal algorithm for serial section reconstruction.
Abstract
A simple and efficient program for removing the hidden lines from the computer graphics display of a three-dimensional structure has been developed. The algorithm is optimized for serial section reconstruction, that is, for three-dimensional structures composed of a series of stacked planar outlines. Using the algorithm, an anatomist can generate a realistic static picture of a reasonably complex reconstruction in about 20 s on a small laboratory computer.
