Abstract
The view generated is the view of a three-dimensional object that would be obtained if the object in question consisted of a translucent material illuminated with a beam of parallel light is generated. The method utilizes a spatial-to-frequency domain transformation that substantially reduces the computational workload. Once the object representation in the frequency domain has been generated, the computational workload needed to generate a projection is significantly less than that needed in other methods.
