  5. What is Visualization? • Understanding of data • Insight into information • Presentation and sharing of insights. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  6. Data Sources • Computational Science • Data Acquisition / Imaging • Historical Observation • Survey, Census, etc. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  7. Data Topologies - Structured • Cartesian • x j+1 = xi +  • Regular or Uniform • x j+1 = xi + x • Rectilinear or Perimeter • x j+1 = x(i) R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  8. Data Topologies - Structured i=0 • Curvilinear • x j+1 = x(i,j) • y j+1 = y(i,j) • Curves may intersect in i or j • Curves may not cross in i or j i=3 i=0 j=1 R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  9. Data Topologies - Unstructured • Unstructured or cell data or finite-element data • Tetrahedral R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  10. Data Topologies - Unstructured • Hexahedral R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  11. Data Topologies - Unstructured • Finite-element zoo R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  12. New Data Topologies • Improved data topologies offer huge potential for savings in computational science • Hierarchical models are becoming more common R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  13. New Data Topologies • Hierarchical • Multi-Block Curvilinear • N-sided Polyhedron where n>6 • Multi-Grid or Adaptive Mesh Refinement R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  14. Working with data • Reconstruction is critical • Useful Image Processing operations • Histogram • Data mappers • Region of interest selection • Edge detection • Noise removal or blurring R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  15. 1D and 2D Visualization Techniques CSE 694L

  16. 1D Visualization • y = f(x) • Line Charts • Curve Fitting • Smoothing or Approximation R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  17. 1D Visualization • Non-cartesion coordinate systems R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  18. Basic 2D Visualizations • Scalar Data on a Regular Grid • Surface plots(2D graphics) R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  19. 2D Visualizations • Contour Lines - f(x,y) = constant R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  20. 2D Visualizations • Psuedo Coloring R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  21. 2D Computer Graphics • Image formats and pixel limitations • Color Tables • grey-scale • hot to cold • perceptual R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  22. Transfer Functions • Besides the basics, most tools allow you to define your own color mappings. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  23. 2D Visualization • Vector Fields • Hedgehogs • Streamlines R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  24. 1D Visualization • Vector? R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  25. 2D Contouring • Continuous f(x,y) • Use steepest decent to find zero crossing (root) of the function f(x,y)-c • Follow contour from this seed point until we reach a boundary or loop back. • Direction close to f  z • Problems? R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  26. 2D Contouring • Discrete Data • Assume the Mean Value Thereom • Assume monoticity? • 1D Analogy • 5 Points R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  27. 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 2D Contouring • Given a quadrilateral • f(x,y) = 0.5 <0.5 >0.5 R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  28. Three-dimensional Visualization Techniques CSE 694L

  29. Visualization Algorithms • 2D Slice planes in 3D R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  30. 2D Slice Planes • Orthogonal to a coordinate axis • Uniform Grids => image • Arbitrary • Specify the normal and a point • Produces a 2D unstructured grid R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  31. 2D Slice Planes • Mesh with colors at vertices • 128x128x128 volume can produce over 50,000 triangles. • Mesh with 2D texture coordinates • Very slow if no hardware support • More precise transitions • Mesh with 3D texture coordinates R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  32. 2D Flip book of slices • Rather than view the 2D slice in 3D, rapidly play a sequence of orthogonal slice planes in a movie loop. • Sometimes difficult to build a complete mental model. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  33. 3D Visualizations • Point plots • Animation can bring out the surface or pattern (MacSpin) • Depth Cueing aids in the depth perception. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  34. 3D Visualizations • Spheres or cubes dispersed throughout the volume • color-coded • optional shape-controlled. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  35. 3D Visualization • Iso-contour surfaces R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  36. 3D Visualization • Can add information about an additional variable • Here, two additional variables control the color. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  37. 3D Visualization • Volume Rendering R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  38. 3D Visualization R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  39. Material Classification • Drebin, Carpenter and Hanrahan • Material Probabilities • Levoy • Contour surfaces • MRI data • Skin versus Brain • Using Texture mapping R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  40. Transfer Functions • Maps raw voxel value into presentable entities: color, intensity, opacity... • Raw-data  material (R, G, B, a, Ka, Kd, Ks,...). • Material  shaded material. • High gradient in the data values detects a surface and is used as a measure of its orientation. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  41. 3D Visualization • Volume Rendering can mimic contouring. • Use a transfer function with an impulse at the contour level. R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.

  42. What makes a good visualization? • Why are some things or fields portrayed the way they are? • Take map making for instance. • Which of the following is “better”? R. Crawfis, Ohio State Univ.
