What are the important parameters in the *.cav file that affects the final rendering speed or quality?
Speed and rendering quality is always a tradeoff. To achieve a good rendering speed, one must first specify the correct minimum and maximum depth planes (MIN_DEPTH and MAX_DEPTH). You may obtain them by switching to the constant rendering mode and adjusting the constant rendering depth and see what objects are in focus. You may also increase the number of test depth planes (NUM_DEPTH) or reduce the initial 2D mesh grid size (INIT_MESH_SIZE). Correlation based color consistency verification often produces better quality images on noisy input images. If Correlation is used, you may set AVG_DIFF_TH to be 255 and SUM2_TH to be 0 to forbidden early rejection or acceptance, although that might slow down the rendering. On the other hand, if you want to improve the rendering speed, try increasing INIT_MESH_SIZE and SUM2_TH, and reducing NUM_DEPTH, MESH/DEPTH_SUBDIV_LEVEL, WND_SIZE AND AVG_DIFF_TH.
