Comparing LIC and spot noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spot noise and line integral convolution (LIC) are two texture synthesis techniques for vector field visualization. In this paper the two techniques are compared. Continuous directional convolution is used as a common basis for comparing the techniques. It is shown that the techniques are based on the same mathematical concept. Comparisons of the visual appearance of the output and performance of the algorithms are made. CR

LIC on Surfaces
In this lecture we will discuss how line integral convolution can be generalized to depict vector fields defined on surfaces in 3D. The surfaces are assumed to be topologically equivalent to a 2D plane – at least in a local neighbourhood. In principle, any 2D imaging technique can be applied to such a surface as well. In particular, it is possible to map standard 2D LIC images onto the surface ...
متن کاملAdaptive Dynamic Filtering for the Visualization of Phase Portraits
Several methods have been proposed for representing vector fields (glyphs, particles, icons, Streamlines, Hyperstreamlines, Spot Noise, LIC, etc.), being streamlines and LIC the two most important. In previous work we already discussed thoroughly the advantages and drawbacks of these methods, and proposed a new, parametrized method that combines successfully the good properties of both. In this...
متن کاملA Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm
Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...
متن کاملMulti-Granularity Noise for Curvilinear Grid LIC
A major problem of the existing curvilinear grid Line Integral Convolution (LIC) algorithm is that the resulting LIC textures may be distorted after being mapped onto the parametric surfaces, since a curvilinear grid usually consists of cells of di erent sizes. This paper proposes a way for solving the problem through using multi-granularity noise as the input image for LIC. A stochastic sampli...
متن کاملEstimating the off resonance thermal noise in mirrors, Fabry-Perot interferometers, and delay lines: The half infinite mirror with uniform loss
We present an analysis comparing the thermal noise in Fabry-Perot and delay-line interferometers with half-infinite mirrors. With a center to center spot spacing of at least twice the Gaussian beam spot size a delay line produces significantly less phase noise than a comparable Fabry-Perot interferometer for the case of half infinite mirrors at frequencies where test mass thermal noise usually ...
