Abstract:: The workshop was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), OCE Division of Ocean Sciences (Award # 1817257). This report summarizes the key findings, outcomes, and recommendations of the workshop and serves as a draft of the comprehensive roadmap.
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Chen, Guoning, Mischaikow, Konstantin Michael, Laramee, Robert S., and Zhang, Eugene
Abstract:: Existing topology-based vector field analysis techniques rely on the ability to extract the individual trajectories such as fixed points, periodic orbits and separatrices which are sensitive to noise and errors introduced by simulation and interpolation. This can make such vector field analysis unsuitable for rigorous interpretations. We advocate the use...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Esch, Gregory, Wonka, Peter, Muller, Pascal, and Zhang, Eugene
Abstract:: This paper addresses the problem of interactively modeling large street networks. We introduce a modeling framework that uses tensor fields to guide the generation of a street graph. A user can interactively edit a street graph by either modifying the underlying tensor field or by changing the graph directly. This...

Abstract:: The gradient of a velocity vector field is an asymmetric tensor field which can provide critical insight into the vector field that is difficult to infer from traditional trajectory-based vector field visualization techniques. We describe the structures in the eigenvalue and eigenvector fields of the gradient tensor and how these...

Abstract:: Most existing flow visualization techniques focus on the analysis and visualization of the vector field that describes the flow. In this paper, we employ a rather different approach by performing tensor field analysis and visualization on the gradient of the vector field, which can provide additional and complementary information to...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Chen, Guoning, Mischaikow, Konstantin Michael, Laramee, Robert S., and Zhang, Eugene
Abstract:: Vector field analysis plays a crucial role in many engineering applications, such as weather prediction, tsunami and hurricane study, and airplane and automotive design. Existing vector field analysis techniques focus on individual trajectories such as fixed points, periodic orbits and separatrices which are sensitive to noise and errors introduced by...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science, Neill, Patrick J., Metoyer, Ronald A., 1971-, and Zhang, Eugene
Abstract:: Fluid simulation on interacting deformable surfaces is a challenging problem that has many applications. In this paper, we present a framework in which artistic as well as physically realistic flows can be generated on surfaces during deformation and collision. Our simulation system provides comprehensive control over the motion and deformation...

Abstract:: Visualizing asymmetric tensors is an important task in understanding fluid dynamics. In this paper, we describe topological analysis and visualization techniques for asymmetric tensor fields on surfaces based on analyzing the impact of the symmetric and antisymmetric components of the tensor field on its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. At the core...

Abstract:: Design and control of vector fields is critical for many visualization and graphics tasks such as vector field visualization, fluid simulation, and texture synthesis. The fundamental qualitative structures associated with vector fields are fixed points, periodic orbits, and separatrices. In this paper we provide a new technique that allows for...

Creator:: Zhang, Eugene, Hays, James H., Turk, Greg, and Oregon State University. Department of Computer Science
Abstract:: Designing tensor fields in the plane and on surfaces is a necessary task in many graphics applications, such as painterly rendering, pen-and-ink sketch of smooth surfaces, and anisotropic remeshing. In this paper, we present an interactive design system that allows a user to create a wide variety of surface tensor...
