Enhanced Spot Noise for Vector Field Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spot noise is a technique for texture synthesis, which is very useful for vector field visualization. This paper describes improvements and extensions of the basic principle of spot noise. First, better visualization of highly curved vector fields with spot noise is achieved, by adapting the shape of the spots to the local velocity field. Second, filtering of spots is proposed to eliminate undesired low frequency components from the spot noise texture. Third, methods are described to utilize graphics hardware to generate the texture, and to produce variable viewpoint animations of spot noise on surfaces. And fourth, the synthesis of spot noise on grids with highly irregular cell sizes is

Comparing LIC and spot noise
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 ...

متن کاملLIC 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 ...
