Voxel

The voxel (contraction of “ volumetric pixel ”) is a Pixel in 3D. The voxel is a term definitely more often used than its synonym, the boxel .

Medical imagery

The voxel is used for the representation of spaces 3D, in physics or medical imagery 3D by digital processing of cuts 2D from the machines of investigation (Scanner, IRM…).

See for example the scanner with x-rays (or CT).

Returned by voxel

There exist engines 3D using of the voxels to draw landscapes. They are on the other hand rather rare, the drawing by triangle being now more running in the engines 3D, because it was quickly cabled materially, which made it possible to make plays whose animation is very fluid.

Some engines 3D using one returned by voxel:

  • Voxel Earth
  • WinUFO and SimUFO. There exists a Java applet to test WinUFO on line. SimUFO makes it possible to directly publish the landscape in the program.
  • 6 Dismantle Off Freedom voxel renderer

Numerical models by voxel:

  • VoxelStream Technology

Video games using the voxels.

The video games using a returned driving 3D by voxel amount on the fingers of the hand. One can quote:
