10. Volume Graphics  3D World is modeled with a function (= image)  F(x,y,z) (e.g. CT : human body density)  Surface is modeled with a level set of a function  level set = isosurface = isocontour = implicit surface  { (x,y,z) | F(x,y,z) = w } ( w is a fixed value, called isovalue )  Level set may represent important features of a function  e.g. skin surface ( w =skin density) or bone surface ( w =bone density) in body CT
