Modeling and Visualization of Time-varying Topology Transitions Guided by Hyper Reeb Graph Structures

چکیده
We have implemented an interactive tool to reconstruct time varying geometric representations from given Hyper Reeb Graph (HRG) structures reflecting the topological behavior of the underlying data. Objects possessing the topology of a specified Reeb Graph structure are generated from a set of modules. Modifications of a RG over time induce topological changes concerning the structure of the geometric representation. Our main focus points toward the problem of finding appropriate parameterizations leading to smooth transitions over time and visualizing the topological changes using time-varying 3D meshes representing the underlying HRG structure. We highlight the problems and challenges associated to this topic.

Thesis statement: The Time-varying Reeb Graph provides a topological framework to perform visualization of a timevarying volumetric dataset. It assists us to compute the number and genus of level-set components for all (function value, time) pairs, compute seed-cells for fast level-set extraction, and perform temporal simplification of level-set topology.

This paper takes advantage of a 3D eld topology analysis for automating visualization design aiming at volume data mining. The conventional Reeb graph-based approach to describe the topological features of 3D surfaces is extended to capture the topological skeleton of a volumetric eld. Based on the analysis results, which are represented in the form of hyper Reeb graph, we propose two methods f...
متن کاملTopological Morphing Using Reeb Graphs
Metamorphosis between 3D objects is often the transformation between a pair of shapes that have the same topology. This paper presents a new model using Reeb graphs and their contours to create morphing between 3D objects having different topology. The proposed method specifies the correspondence between of the input objects by using the graph isomorphic theory. Then the super Reeb graph, which...
