    摘要: An imaging method and system generates images of non-planar portions of a three dimensional data point array wherein the non-planar portion corresponds to a non-planar object. The method includes selecting at least two different intermediate imaging planes, each selected plane including at least a portion of the object to be imaged, generating cross-sectional views perpendicular to each intermediate plane, selecting a viewing plane, projecting the cross-sectional views onto the viewing plane to generate transition value sets, and combining the transition value sets to generate values for each pixel in a display.
