Fast Focus+Context Visualization of Large Scientific Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Visualization of high-dimensional and time-dependent data, resulting from computational simulation, is a very challenging and resource-consuming task. Here, featurebased visualization approaches, which aim at a usercontrolled reduction of the data shown at one instance of time, proof to be useful. In this paper, we present a framework for interactive highdimensional visualization and feature specification. We put special emphasis on the design of the data access layer and the performance optimization of the highly interactive parts of our system.

Generalizing Focus+Context Visualization
Focus+context visualization is well-known from information visualization: certain data subsets of special interest are shown in more detail (locally enlarged) whereas the rest of the data is provided as context (in reduced space) to support user orientation and navigation. The key point of this work is a generalized definition of focus+context visualization which extends its applicability also ...
متن کاملInteractive Feature Specification for Focus+Context Visualization of Complex Simulation Data
Visualization of high-dimensional, large data sets, resulting from computational simulation, is one of the most challenging fields in scientific viualization. When visualization aims at supporting the analysis of such data sets, feature-based approches are very useful to reduce the amount of data which is shown at each instance of time and guide the user to the most interesting areas of the dat...
متن کاملFlip Zooming: A Practical Focus+Context Approach to Visualizing Large Data Sets
When working with a large material, such as a document or a database, it is often desirable to be able to examine some part of the material in detail, while still retaining a contextual overview. This becomes problematic when the material has to be displayed on a computer screen. Many visualization techniques that attempt to overcome problems associated with displaying large amounts of data hav...
متن کاملIllustrative Focus+Context Approaches in Interactive Volume Visualization
Illustrative techniques are a new and exciting direction in visualization research. Traditional techniques which have been used by scientific illustrators for centuries are re-examined under the light of modern computer technology. In this paper, we discuss the use of the focus+context concept for the illustrative visualization of volumetric data. We give an overview of the state-ofthe-art and ...
متن کاملA Four-level Focus+Context Approach to Interactive Visual Analysis of Temporal Features in Large Scientific Data
In this paper we present a new approach to the interactive visual analysis of time-dependent scientific data – both from measurements as well as from computational simulation – by visualizing a scalar function over time for each of tenthousands or even millions of sample points. In order to cope with overdrawing and cluttering, we introduce a new four-level method of focus+context visualization...
