Figure 2.13 (a, b) Tracing results. The tracing results on a vascular data set are shown, with a slice
of the actual data shown on the bottom. The fibers are colored with different shades of gray to
represent independent traces. (Adapted from [47].)

Since filaments gradually change size, we can limit the number of samples
in the scale dimension to sizes local to the previous step.

Finally, we note that evaluating each sample is a highly parallel operation that
maps well to modern graphics processing units (GPUs). By implementing these
tracking methods completely on commodity GPUs, we are able to achieve even
