Example in Computer Graphics
In this chapter, we introduce a simple computer graphics algorithm called marching cubes. The algorithm is a simple but a very data-intensive operation depending on the data set. This chapter also discusses how to implement it in plain MATLAB, how to improve speed performance in MATLAB, and how to accelerate the speed using c-mex and CUDA.
