چکیده
Volume rendering is a very active research field in Computer Graphics because of its wide range of applications in various sciences, from medicine to flow mechanics. In this report, we survey a state-of-the-art on time-varying volume rendering. We state several basic concepts and then we establish several criteria to classify the studied works: IVR versus DVR, 4D versus 3D+time, compression techniques, involved architectures, use of parallelism and image-space versus objectspace coherence. We also address other related problems as transfer functions and 2D cross-sections computation of time-varying volume data. All the papers reviewed are classified into several tables based on the mentioned classification and, finally, several conclusions are presented.

Visualizing time-varying volume data
Studying dynamic aspects of physical and chemical processes is critical to the advances of many sciences. State-of-the-art scientific computing technologies allow accurate numerical modeling of many physical and chemical processes in their spatial and temporal domains. However, an increasingly challenging problem scientists must face is how to effectively explore and understand the resulting ti...
متن کاملAn Exploratory Technique for Coherent Visualization of Time-varying Volume Data
The selection of an appropriate global transfer function is essential for visualizing time-varying simulation data. This is especially challenging when the global data range is not known in advance, as is often the case in remote and in-situ visualization settings. Since the data range may vary dramatically as the simulation progresses, volume rendering using local transfer functions may not be...
متن کاملAn adaptive framework for visualizing unstructured grids with time-varying scalar fields
Interactive visualization of time-varying volume data is essential for many scientific simulations. This is a challenging problem since this data is often large, can be organized in different formats (regular or irregular grids), with variable instances of time (from hundreds to thousands) and variable domain fields. It is common to consider subsets of this problem, such as time-varying scalar ...
متن کاملA texture-based hardware-independent technique for time-varying volume flow visualization
Existing texture-based 3D flow visualization techniques, e.g., volume Line Integral Convolution (LIC), are either limited to steady flows or dependent on special-purpose graphics cards. In this paper we present a texture-based hardware-independent technique for time-varying volume flow visualization. It is based on our Accelerated Unsteady Flow LIC (AUFLIC) algorithm (Liu and Moorhead, 2005), w...
متن کاملA Study of Hierarchical Correlation Clustering for Scientific Volume Data
Correlation study is at the heart of time-varying multivariate volume data analysis and visualization. In this paper, we study hierarchical clustering of volumetric samples based on the similarity of their correlation relation. Samples are selected from a time-varying multivariate climate data set according to knowledge provided by the domain experts. We present three different hierarchical clu...
متن کاملVisualizing Time-varying Three-dimensional Flow Fields Using Accelerated Uflic
Most texture-based 3D flow visualization techniques such as volume Line Integral Convolution (LIC) are limited to steady fields. Time-varying dense volume flow visualization is still an open problem due to intensive computation, demanding temporal-spatial coherence, and ad-hoc volume rendering. Our work is based on an enhanced Unsteady Flow LIC (UFLIC) algorithm, Accelerated UFLIC (AUFLIC), whi...
