AB - Volume rendering of large 3D density fields remains computationally expensive, limiting real-time use in medical imaging, meteorology, and scientific visualization. We present an efficient method that integrates Precomputed Density Queries with Predictive Break Conditions. During ray casting, the precomputed queries skip unnecessary voxels, while the predictive break conditions estimate when to terminate accumulation by forecasting frame-to-frame density changes via gradient-vector analysis with multi-frame weighting. Implemented in PyCUDA, the approach executes gradient estimation and ray operations on the GPU, minimizing CPU–GPU transfers. Experiments on dynamic gaseous volumes demonstrate up to 20× speedup over conventional baselines while keeping the maximum density deviation ≤ 0.03, yielding artifact-free, temporally coherent results suitable for interactive visualization.
The framework is readily applicable to CT/MRI stacks, large-scale weather fields, and fluid/smoke simulations that require high-throughput, real-time rendering.
