Liquid foams have important practical applications in mineral separation and oil recovery. However, the details of the foam mechanics in these applications are poorly understood. Foam scientists have used 2D foam simulations to model foam behavior and 2D visualization solutions have helped them explore and analyze their data. Three-dimensional foam simulations remove some of the simplifying ass...

We have developed an interactive visualization software for an immersive 3D virtual environment system, which generates stereoscopic images from huge human volume datasets in real-time using an improved volume visualization technique. Our software utilizes a CAVE system to reconstruct such huge volume datasets as the Visible Human and the Visible Korean Human, produced by NLM and KISTI, respect...

UNLABELLED Understanding the relationships between pathways and the altered expression of their components in disease conditions can be addressed in a visual data analysis process. Caleydo uses novel visualization techniques to support life science experts in their analysis of gene expression data in the context of pathways and functions of individual genes. Pathways and gene expression visuali...

The visualization of variability in surfaces embedded in 3D, which is a type of ensemble uncertainty visualization, provides a means of understanding the underlying distribution of a collection or ensemble of surfaces. Although ensemble visualization for isosurfaces has been described in the literature, we conduct an expert-based evaluation of various ensemble visualization techniques in a part...

The major idea of the current research is to build a concept for a 3D GIS appropriate for maintenance and real-time manipulation of municipality data via Internet. A model containing geometric and thematic information about objects, spatial and thematic relationships should be developed. The research focuses the geometric aspect of the problem with emphasis on development of a scheme to exchang...

This paper presents a new approach to create 3D visualization from discrete simulation results. This approach connects discrete event simulation directly to 3D animation with its novel methods that analyze and convert discrete simulation results into animation events to trigger 3D animation. In addition, it constructs a 3D animation framework for the visualization of discrete simulation results...

The geographical visualization of urban and regional landscapes is a powerful technique for engaging actors involved in decision-making processes. Tools developed can empower professional and citizen alike to make better-informed decisions. The paper reports on collaborative research being undertaken to develop and apply a range of 3D geographical visualization products to enhance both planning...

This article describes a novel approach to the real-time visualization of 3D imagery obtained from a 3D millimeter wave scanning radar. The MMW radar system employs a spinning antenna to generate a fan-shaped scanning pattern of the entire scene. The beams formed this way provide all weather 3D distance measurements (range/azimuth display) of objects as they appear on the ground. Using these im...

Isosurfacing, by itself, is a common visualization technique for investigating 3D vector fields. Applying texturebased flow visualization techniques to isosurfaces provides engineers with even more insight into the characteristics of 3D vector fields. We apply a method for producing dense, texture-based representations of flow on isosurfaces. It combines two well know scientific visualization t...

Effective visualization is central to the exploration and comprehension of brain imaging data. While MRI data are acquired in three-dimensional space, the methods for visualizing such data have rarely taken advantage of three-dimensional stereoscopic technologies. We present here results of stereoscopic visualization of clinical data, as well as an atlas of whole-brain functional connectivity. ...
