چکیده
This paper presents a new evenly-spaced streamlines placement algorithm to visualize 2D steady ows. The main technical contribution of this work is to propose a single method to compute a wide variety of ow eld images, ranging from texture-like to hand-drawing styles. Indeed the control of the density of the eld is very easy since the user only needs to set the separating distance between adjacent streamlines , which is related to the overall density of the image. We show that our method produces images of a quality at least as good as other methods but that it is computationally less expensive and ooers a better control on the rendering process.

Unsteady Flow Visualization by Animating Evenly-Spaced Streamlines
In recent years the work on vector field visualization has been concentrated on LIC-based methods. In this paper we propose an alternative solution for the visualization of unsteady flow fields. Our approach is based on the computation of temporal series of correlated images. While other methods are based on pathlines and try to correlate successive images at the pixel level, our approach consi...
متن کاملVisualization of Diffusion Tensor Data using Evenly Spaced Streamlines
Diffusion tensor imaging allows investigating white matter structures in vivo which is of particular interest for neurosurgery. A promising approach for the reconstruction of neural pathways are streamline based techniques commonly referred to as fiber tracking. However, due to the diverging nature of tract systems, the density of streamlines varies over the domain without control resulting in ...

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...
متن کاملAnimating streamlines with repeated asymmetric patterns for steady flow visualization
Animation provides intuitive cueing for revealing essential spatial-temporal features of data in scientific visualization. This paper explores the design of Repeated Asymmetric Patterns (RAPs) in animating evenly-spaced color-mapped streamlines for dense accurate visualization of complex steady flows. We present a smooth cyclic variable-speed RAP animation model that performs velocity (magnitud...
متن کاملEvenly Spaced Streamlines for Surfaces: An Image-Based Approach
We introduce a novel, automatic streamline seeding algorithm for vector fields defined on surfaces in 3D space. The algorithm generates evenly spaced streamlines fast, simply and efficiently for any general surface-based vector field. It is general because it handles large, complex, unstructured, adaptive resolution grids with holes and discontinuities, does not require a parametrization, and c...
