Designing 2D Vector Fields

چکیده
We introduce a scheme of control polygons to design topological skeletons for vector fields of arbitrary topology. Based on this we construct piecewise linear vector fields of exactly the topology specified by the control polygons. This way a controlled construction of vector fields of any topology is possible. Finally we apply this method for topology-preserving compression of vector fields consisting of a simple topology.

Topology-Based Visualization of Time-Dependent 2D Vector Fields
Topology-based methods have been successfully applied to the visualization of instantaneous planar vector fields. In this paper, we present the topology-based visualization of time-dependent 2D flows. Our method tracks critical points over time precisely. The detection and classification of bifurcations delivers the topological structure of time dependent vector fields. This offers a general fr...
متن کاملImage Based Reconstruction and Interaction of 2D Vector Fields
This paper addresses the problem of symmetrical 2D flow visualization and presents solutions to compute a vector field from a flow image. Based on these solutions new, interactions mechanisms are developed which make visual corrections of 2D vector fields possible. These mechanisms permit an image-based interaction with some features of the vector field: vectors, streamlines, and critical points.
متن کاملGrid-independent Detection of Closed Stream Lines in 2D Vector Fields
We present a new approach to detecting isolated closed stream lines in 2D vector fields. This approach is based on the idea of transforming the 2D vector field into an appropriate 3D vector field such that detecting closed stream lines in 2D is equivalent to intersecting certain stream surfaces in 3D. Contrary to pre-existing methods, our approach does not rely on any underlying grid structure ...
متن کاملGeneric singularities of line fields on 2D manifolds
Generic singularities of line fields have been studied for lines of principal curvature of embedded surfaces. In this paper we propose an approach to classify generic singularities of general line fields on 2D manifolds. The idea is to identify line fields as bisectors of pairs of vector fields on the manifold, with respect to a given conformal structure. The singularities correspond to the zer...
متن کاملMagneto-Thermo-Elastic Stresses and Perturbation of the Magnetic Field Vector in an EGM Rotating Disk
In this article, the magneto-thermo-elastic problem of exponentially graded material (EGM) hollow rotating disk placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields is considered. Exact solutions for stresses and perturbations of the magnetic field vector in EGM hollow rotating disk are determined using the infinitesimal theory of magneto-thermo-elasticity under plane stress. The material properti...
