Abstract
A method of producing a computer-generated image of a component part includes receiving scan data of the component part. The scan data includes a plurality of slices that change direction about a normal vector. The method further includes registering the scan data of the component part and transforming the scan data of the component part into a set of slices arranged in an x-y plane. Further, the method includes aligning the set of slices aligned along the axis along an axis in the x-y plane. In addition, the method includes adjusting the set of slices aligned along the axis using a background model for the component part, the scan data, or both. Thus, the method includes applying a directional filter to the set of slices aligned along the axis and generating the computer-generated image of the component part using the filtered set of slices aligned along the axis.
