The invention provides a volume data rendering acceleration method for blank space jump, which relates to the field of volume data rendering, and comprises the following steps: judging whether a volume data block to which a current light sampling point belongs has a non-empty
voxel, if the volume data block is a blank volume data block, entering a Chebyshev jump stage,
jumping the blank volume data block based on a Chebyshev distance map, and if not, entering a Chebyshev jump stage; and if not, entering a
voxel-level jump stage. And in the
voxel-level
jumping stage, judging whether the voxel is non-empty, if the voxel is non-empty, executing a
ray casting sampling process, and if the voxel is empty, entering the
jumping stage based on the unsigned distance map to jump the blank voxel. And performing adaptive sampling step length adjustment based on the gradient amplitude, the volume
data value and the viewpoint distance. And when the light is emitted out of the cube, iteration is stopped. According to the technical scheme, the problems that in the prior art, efficient skipping of empty voxels cannot be achieved, and the calculation efficiency of a
ray casting algorithm is low are solved.
