Multivariate statistics and three-dimensional graphics

Three-dimensional computer graphics architecture

Three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics hardware has emerged as an integral part of mainstream desktop PC systems. The aim of this paper is to describe the 3D graphics architecture at a level accessible to the general computational science community. We start with the generic 3D graphics rendering algorithm, the computational requirements of each of its steps, and the basic architectural featu...

Three-dimensional structural analysis using Interactive Graphics

-Three-dimensional finite element structural analysis computer programs can only be used effectively when the input can be accurately generated and checked, and the output correctly examined. With the use of the Sandia Interactive Graphics System, SIGS, which consists of a cathode ray tube, a mini-computer, a CDC 6600 computer and an interactive graphics computer software system, both input and...

Exploiting Orthogonality in Three Dimensional Graphics for Visualizing Abstract Data Exploiting Orthogonality in Three Dimensional Graphics for Visualizing Abstract Data

Using three dimensional graphics to visualize abstract data presents an interesting challenge because, by definition , there is no physically intuitive counterpart to abstract data. Relatively little work has been done in exploring how to best utilize the third dimension to increase visualization capabilities beyond simply increasing the volume of data presented. This paper presents a design pr...

Two and Three-Dimensional Image Deconvolution on Graphics Hardware

The process of image formation in an optical microscope or similar imaging device results in a distortion of the true object image due to diffraction effects and out-of-focus blurring. This distortion can greatly limit the resolution of the imaging device, particularly in the case of 3D microscopy where the axial resolution is impeded by the contribution of out-of-focus signal from an extended ...
