Our approach uses a mathematically sound interpolation scheme, i.e., Gaussian process regression. The focus of this work is to demonstrate, that GP-regression can be used for interpolation in practice, despite the high computational costs. The potential of our method is demonstrated by an interactive volume rendering of three-dimensional data, where the gradient estimation is directly computed by the field function without the need of additional sample points of the underlying data. We illustrate our method using three-dimensional data sets of the medical research domain.Mathematics of Computing [G.1.0]GeneralError analysis Mathematics of Computing [G.1.1]InterpolationInterpolation formulas Computer Graphics [I.3.3]Picture/Image GenerationDisplay algorithms10.2312/vmv.2015125749-56
