Description: A voxel, short for ‘volumetric pixel’, is a three-dimensional element that represents a value in a regular grid in three-dimensional space. Unlike a pixel, which is a point in a two-dimensional image, a voxel has volume and is used to represent data in three dimensions. Each voxel can contain information about properties such as color, density, temperature, or any other relevant attribute for the context in which it is used. In terms of visualization, voxels are fundamental in applications that require volumetric representation, such as computer graphics, 3D modeling, and scientific simulations. The arrangement of voxels in three-dimensional space allows for the creation of complex and detailed models, facilitating the manipulation and analysis of volumetric data. In the field of computer vision, voxels are essential for reconstructing three-dimensional scenes from two-dimensional images, enabling better understanding and analysis of the environment. Their use has expanded across various fields, from medical imaging, where they are used in techniques like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to the entertainment industry, where they are applied in video games and 3D animations.
