IVORY - An Object-Oriented Framework for Physics-Based Information Visualization in Java
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present IVORY, a newly developed, platform-independent framework for physics-based visualization. IVORY is especially designed for information visualization applications and multidimensional graph layout. It is fully implemented in Java 1.1 and its architecture features client-server setup, which allows to run the visualization even on thin clients. In addition, VRML 2.0 exports can be viewed by any VRML plugged-in WWW-browser. Individual visual metaphors are invoked into IVORY via an advanced plug-in mechanism, where plug-ins can be implemented by any experienced user. The configuration of IVORY is accomplished using a script language, called IVML. Some interactive visualization examples, such as the integration of an haptic interface illustrate the performance and versatility of our system. Our current implementation supports NT 4.0.1 keywords: three-dimensional information visualization, physics-based graph layout, object-oriented visualization toolkit, multidimensional information modeling, time varying data.

متن کاملSegmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...
متن کاملMulti-user visualization a CORBA / Web-based approach
This paper introduces a framework for visualization in a distributed multi-user environment, which builds upon two important observations. First, multiple users with different backgrounds have individual information needs and thus require multiple views on the information. Second, to allow users to experiment with the information and the visualization, the visualization must be adaptable. To me...
