Particle-Based Transparent Visualization of 3D Inner Structure of Funeboko in Gion Festival

Abstract

We translucently visualize laser-scanned 3D data of Funeboko of the Gion Festival in Kyoto. We use the laser-scanned point data set to execute the particle-based rendering of the inner 3Dstructure. Our approach enables high-quality and comprehensible visualization. It compensates disadvantages of the conventional visualization based on the polygonization, i.e., loss of points in the processing, incorrectness coming from insufficiency of data, unclearness, etc. We can visualize outside walls, wheels, axles, and the main body etc. separately or integrally.
