  • Coincident Nodes Multi-Edge Graph for Simultaneous Decision and Objective Space Multi-Dimensional Visualization

    Creator:
    Guizani, Mariam
    Abstract:
    The importance of data visualization is becoming increasingly more substantial to the field of optimization and engineering design where a carefully designed visualization of the data on decision parameters (i.e Decision Space) and performance functions (i.e Objective Space) is critical to the success of the decision making process. One of...

  • Branched Covering Space Construction and Visualization

    Creator:
    Golbabaei, Sanaz
    Abstract:
    Branched covering spaces are a mathematical concept which originates from complex analysis and topology and has found applications in tensor field topology and geometry re-meshing. Given a manifold surface and an N-way rotational symmetry field, a branched covering space is a manifold surface that has an N-to-1 map to the...

  • 2D second-order asymmetric tensor field analysis and visualization

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

  • Hybrid visualization of asymmetric tensor fields : glyphs and hyperstreamlines

    Creator:
    Palke, Darrel
    Abstract:
    Asymmetric tensor fields are useful for understanding fluid flow and solid deformation. They present new challenges, however, for traditional tensor field visualization techniques such as hyperstreamline placement and glyph packing. This is because the physical behavior of tensors inside real domains where eigenvalues are real is fundamentally different from the...

  • Painterly rendering using space-time varying style parameters

    Creator:
    Kagaya, Mizuki
    Abstract:
    Automatic painterly rendering systems have been proposed but they opted for selecting a single style to generate paintings from images, which lacks the ability of creatively using multiple styles to focus important objects and deemphasize unimportant part of the scenes. We provide a multi-style painting framework to address this issue...

  • Fluid flow on interacting, deformable surfaces

    Creator:
    Neill, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Fluid simulation is an interesting research problem with a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, special effects in movies and games, and scientific simulation. Due to the complex nature of typical fluid flow equations, there are circumstances where a full volumetric fluid simulation may not be necessary to generate...
