Animating Flow Fields: Rendering of Oriented Line Integral Convolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Line Integral Convolution (LIC) is a common approach for the visualization of 2 0 vector fields. It is well suited for visualizing the direction of a flow field, but it gives no information about the orientation of the underlying vectors. We introduce Oriented Line Integral Convolution (OLIC), where direction as well as orientation are encoded within the resulting image. This is achieved b y using a sparse input texture and a ramp like (anisotropic) convolution kernel. This method can be used for animations, whe,reby the computation of so called pixel traces fastens the calculation process. In the result section various OLICs illustrating simple and real-world vector fields are shown.

Color-Table Animation of Fast Oriented Line Integral Convolution for Vector Field Visualization
Fast Oriented Line Integral Convolution (FROLIC), which is a variant of LIC, illustrates 2D vector fields by approximating a streamlet by a set of disks with varying intensity. FROLIC does not only show the direction of the flow but also its orientation. This paper presents color-table animation of FROLIC images. Various color-table compositions are discussed in detail. When animating FROLIC im...

متن کاملVisualizing Time-varying Three-dimensional Flow Fields Using Accelerated Uflic
Most texture-based 3D flow visualization techniques such as volume Line Integral Convolution (LIC) are limited to steady fields. Time-varying dense volume flow visualization is still an open problem due to intensive computation, demanding temporal-spatial coherence, and ad-hoc volume rendering. Our work is based on an enhanced Unsteady Flow LIC (UFLIC) algorithm, Accelerated UFLIC (AUFLIC), whi...

Line integral convolution (LIC) is an eeective technique for visualizing vector elds. The application of LIC to 3D ow elds has yet been limited by diiculties to eeciently display and animate the resulting 3D images. Texture-based volume rendering allows interactive visualization and manipulation of 3D LIC textures. In this context, we suggest two related approaches for animating static 3D ow el...
متن کاملPer-Fragment Image-based Flow Visualization using Interactive Surface Extraction from Unstructured Grids
We present a method for image-based visualization of flow fields on unstructured grids. For interactive exploration of flow data from CFD simulations, we combine GPU-accelerated surface extraction methods and line integral convolution (LIC) in a multi-pass algorithm. In contrast to other highly efficient methods, computation of stream lines is performed directly on the unstructured grid, where ...
