Vector Plots for Irregular Grids

چکیده
A standard method for visualizing vector elds consists of drawing many small \glyphs" to represent the eld. This paper extends the technique from regular to curvilinear and unstructured grids. In order to achieve a uniform density of vector glyphs on nonuniformly spaced grids, the paper describes two approaches to resampling the grid data. One of the methods, an element-based resampling, can be used to visualize vector elds at arbitrary surfaces within three-

Vector and Tensor Field Topology Simplification on Irregular Grids
Topology-based visualization of planar turbulent flows results in visual clutter due to the presence of numerous features of very small scale. In this paper, we attack this problem with a topology simplification method for vector and tensor fields defined on irregular grids. This is the generalization of previous work dealing with structured grids. The method works for all interpolation schemes.
متن کاملAnalysis of Slope Limiters on Irregular Grids
This paper examines the behavior of flux and slope limiters on non-uniform grids in multiple dimensions. Many slope limiters in standard use do not preserve linear solutions on irregular grids impacting both accuracy and convergence. We rewrite some well-known limiters to highlight their underlying symmetry, and use this form to examine the properties of both traditional and novel limiter formu...
متن کاملDistance Transformation on Two-Dimensional Irregular Isothetic Grids
In this article, we propose to investigate the extension of the SEDT (Squared Euclidean Distance Transformation) on irregular isothetic grids. We give two algorithms to handle different structurations of grids. We first describe a simple approach based on the complete Voronoi diagram of the background irregular pixels, very fast on sparse grids. Then, we extend the separable algorithm defined o...
متن کاملSpecial Issue: Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery Supercover model, digital straight line recognition and curve reconstruction on the irregular isothetic grids
On the classical discrete grid, the analysis of digital straight lines (DSL for short) has been intensively studied for nearly half a century. In this article, we are interested in a discrete geometry on irregular grids. More precisely, our goal is to define geometrical properties on irregular isothetic grids that are tilings of the Euclidean plane with different sized axis parallel rectangles....
متن کاملA Novel Algorithm for Distance Transformation on Irregular Isothetic Grids
In this report, we propose a new definition of the EDT (Squared Euclidean Distance Transformation) on irregular isothetic grids. We describe a new separable algorithm to compute this transformation on every grids, which is independent of the background representation. We show that our proposal is able to efficiently handle various kind of classical irregular two-dimensional grids in imagery, an...
