Visualization of Procedural Abstraction

Visualization of Procedural Abstraction

Visualizing impacts of an optimization pass helps to reason about, and to gain insight into, the inner workings of the optimization pass. In this paper, we visualize the impacts of two procedural abstraction passes. For this, we modified two procedural abstraction post pass optimizers to visualize for each the difference in machine code before and after optimization by drawing abstracted fragme...

Hierarchical Learning with Procedural Abstraction Mechanisms

Procedural Image Processing for Visualization

We present a novel Procedural Image Processing (PIP) method and demonstrate its applications in visualization. PIP modulates the sampling positions of a conventional image processing kernel (e.g. edge detection filter) through a procedural perturbation function. When properly designed, PIP can produce a variety of styles for edge depiction, varying on width, solidity, and pattern, etc. In addit...

Procedural visualization of knitwear and woven cloth

In this paper, a procedural method for the visualization of knitted and woven fabrics is presented. The proposed method is compatible with a mass-spring model and makes use of the regular warp–weft structure of the cloth. The visualization parameters for the loops and threads are easily mapped to the animated mass-spring model. The simulation idea underlying both knitted and woven fabrics is si...

Procedural volume modeling, rendering, and visualization

Volume visualization techniques have advanced dramatically over the past fifteen years. However, the increase in scale of visualization tasks has been increasing at even a faster rate. Today, many problems require the visualization of gigabytes to terabytes of data. Additionally, the number of variables and dimensionality of many scientific simulations and observations has increased, while the ...
