Scientific Visualization
Scientific visualization is an effective tool for data
understanding. Unlike computer graphics, which emphasizes
generating photo-like images, scientific visualization strives
for accurate representations of thegiven data. It is from these
representations that scientists can better visualize and
understand their data.
The speakers will present state-of-the-art techniques in
scientific visualization including an object-oriented approach,
visualizing data from different grid types, new analysis
techniques for understanding physical phenomena in oceanography
data, volume rendering techniques for visualizing human brain
data, and time-varying techniques for depicting flow phenomena in
computational fluid dynamics. They will also discuss future
directions of these techniques.
