  • Systems and methods for ultrasound simulation using depth peeling
    Patent number: 8428326
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ultrasound simulation using depth peeling are disclosed. In one disclosed embodiment, a method includes the steps of receiving a sensor signal including a position and an orientation of a simulated ultrasound device, the position and orientation associated with a virtual physical environment comprising a first virtual object; determining a first peel associated with the first virtual object; determining a second peel associated with the first virtual object; determining a first characteristic of a pixel located between the first peel and the second peel; generating a display signal based on the first characteristic, the display signal configured to cause a visual display of the virtual physical environment; and outputting the display signal to a display device.
    Type: Grant
