Collaboration in Scientific Visualization

by Peter Kropf
"... This paper discusses the key collaborative features of scientific visualization systems. An experiment with several groups of users has been conducted to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of collaborative tools in such a system. In particular, we compared audio and textual communication suppo ..."

Accuracy in Scientific Visualization

by Adriano Martins Lopes , 1999
"... l of new improvements. There are three techniques under study in this thesis: contouring, isosurfacing and particle tracing. All these are widely used in scientific visualization. That is why they have been chosen. For all of them, the issue of showing accuracy to users is discussed. In addition, t ..."

Nonphotorealistic rendering in scientific visualization

by Christopher G. Healey, Victoria Interrante, David Laidlaw, Penny Rheingans, During His Phd, Dr. James, T. Enns - In SIGGRAPH 2001 Course Notes Nonphotorealistic Rendering in Scientific Visualization, C.G.Healey, Ed. ACM
"... The goal of this course is to introduce participants to the wealth of visualization inspiration available from art and art history. How people perceive an image can have a profound effect on the meaning they attach to that image. A compelling example is the artist’s use of painterly techniques that ..."

that harness our perception to evoke a specific emotional response. This course surveys a number of important issues in nonphotorealistic rendering and visual perception, then discusses their direct relevance to computer graphics and scientific visualization through a series of descriptions, examples

Diverging color maps for scientific visualization

by Kenneth Moreland - Advances in Visual Computing , 2009
"... Abstract. One of the most fundamental features of scientific visualization is the process of mapping scalar values to colors. This process allows us to view scalar fields by coloring surfaces and volumes. Unfortunately, the majority of scientific visualization tools still use a color map that is fam ..."

Surround-screen projection-based virtual reality: The design and implementation of the CAVE

by Carolina Cruz-neira, Daniel J. Sandin, Thomas A. Defanti , 1993
"... Abstract Several common systems satisfy some but not all of the VR This paper describes the CAVE (CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment) virtual reality/scientific visualization system in detail and demonstrates that projection technology applied to virtual-reality goals achieves a system that matches ..."

Scientific Visualization on Sparse Grids

by Christian Teitzel, Matthias Hopf, Thomas Ertl - Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Lehrstuhl für Graphische Datenverarbeitung (IMMD IX , 2000
"... The ever growing size of data sets resulting from industrial and scientific simulations and measurements have created an enormous need for analysis tools allowing interactive visualization. A promising hierarchical approach in the area of numerical simulation is called sparse grids. We present two m ..."

Perceptual techniques for scientific visualization

by Christopher G. Healey - SIGGRAPH ’99 Course , 1999
"... This talk describes our investigation of methods for choosing color, texture, orientation, shape, and other features to visualize certain types of large, multidimensional datasets. These datasets are becoming more and more common; examples include scientific simulation results, geographic informatio ..."

D Widgets for Exploratory Scientific Visualization

by Kenneth Herndon, Tom Meyer - In Proceedings of UIST '94 , 1994
"... Scientists use a variety of visualization techniques to help understand computational fluid dynamics (CFD) datasets, but the interfaces to these techniques are generally twodimensional and therefore separated from the 3D view. Both rapid interactive exploration of datasets and precise control over t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 34 (1 self) - Add to MetaCart
the parameters and placement of visualization techniques are required to understand complex phenomena contained in these datasets. In this paper, we present work in progress on a 3D user interface for exploratory visualization of these datasets. KEYWORDS: 3D user interface, scientific visualization
