Autocontouring versus manual contouring.

Contouring with Uncertainty

As stated by Johnson [Joh04], the visualization of uncertainty remains one of the major challenges for the visualization community. To achieve this, we need to understand and develop methods that allow us not only to consider uncertainty as an extra variable within the visualization process, but to treat it as an integral part. In this paper, we take contouring, one of the most widely used visu...

Contouring Curved Quadratic Elements

We show how to extract a contour line (or isosurface) from quadratic elements—specifically from quadratic triangles and tetrahedra. We also devise how to transform the resulting contour line (or surface) into a quartic curve (or surface) based on a curved-triangle (curved-tetrahedron) mapping. A contour in a bivariate quadratic function defined over a triangle in parameter space is a conic sect...

Contouring Discrete Indicator Functions

We present a method for calculating the boundary of objects from Discrete Indicator Functions that store 2material volume fractions with a high degree of accuracy. Although Marching Cubes and its derivatives are effective methods for calculating contours of functions sampled over discrete grids, these methods perform poorly when contouring non-smooth functions such as Discrete Indicator Functio...
