Surface-Based Seeding for Blood Flow Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Qualitative visual analysis of flow patterns in cerebral aneurysms is important for assessing the risk of rupture. According to current research, the flow patterns close to the aneurysm surface (e.g. impingement zone) provide a good insight. Streamlines can be easily interpreted and are commonly used for visualizing and exploring blood flow. However, standard ways of seeding these streamlines, e.g. manually oriented planes, are not suitable for explicit exploration of local near-wall flow. In this work, we introduce a novel surface-based seeding strategy. Our approach is flexibly applicable to measured as well as simulated data, so we present results for both. Informal domain expert feedback confirmed the suitability of our method to explore near-wall blood flow. The intuitive interaction scheme and the ease of use were appreciated.

Coherence Maps for Blood Flow Exploration
Blood flow data from direct measurements (4D flow MRI) or numerical simulations opens new possibilities for the understanding of the development of cardiac diseases. However, before this new data can be used in clinical studies or for diagnosis, it is important to develop a notion of the characteristics of typical flow structures. To support this process we developed a novel blood flow clusteri...
متن کاملGPU-Based Streamlines for Surface-Guided 3D Flow Visualization
Visualizing 3D flow fields intrinsically suffers from problems of clutter and occlusion. A common practice to alleviate these issues is to restrict the visualization to feature surfaces that capture important characteristics of the underlying data. However, this often comes at costs of losing information due to the inherent projection of the 3D field on a 2D surface, which may limit the techniq...
متن کاملSemi-Automatic Generation of Stream Surfaces via Sketching.
We present a semi-automatic approach for stream surface generation. Our approach is based on the conjecture that good seeding curves can be inferred from a set of streamlines. Given a set of densely traced streamlines over the flow field, we design a sketch-based interface that allows users to describe their perceived flow patterns through drawing simple strokes directly on top of the streamlin...

This paper presents an Interactive View-Driven Evenly Spaced Streamline placement algorithm (IVDESS) for 3D explorative visualization of large complex planar or curved surface flows. IVDESS rapidly performs accurate streamline integration in 3D physical space, i.e., the flow field, while achieving high quality streamline density control in 2D view space, i.e., the output image. The corresponden...

The placement or seeding of stream surfaces in 3D flow fields faces a number of challenges. These challenges include perception, occlusion, and the appropriate representation of flow characteristics. A variety of streamline seeding approaches exist, little corresponding work is presented for stream surfaces. We present a novel automatic stream surface seeding and filtering algorithm.
