Illustrative Scientific Visualization Framework

چکیده
Current scientific visualization techniques create complex images that may be difficult to interpret and do not have the expressiveness of illustrations. Incorporating traditional scientific illustration techniques into a visualization system enables artists and non-artists to harnesses the power of traditional illustration techniques when visually representing scientific data. In this paper we present an illustrative scientific visualization framework incorporating general illustration principles, as well as techniques and aesthetics of various styles. Such a framework provides a basic foundation for categorizing and communicating research and may stimulate future illustrative visualization systems.

VolumeFlies: Illustrative Volume Visualization using Particles
Non-photorealistic (NPR) techniques are usually applied to produce stylistic renderings. However, they can also be useful to visualize scientific datasets. NPR techniques are often able to simplify data, producing clearer images than traditional photorealistic methods. We propose a framework for visualizing volume datasets using non-photorealistic techniques. Our framework is based on particle ...

متن کاملHardware-Accelerated Illustrative Medical Surface Visualization with Extended Shading Maps
In this paper, we introduce a new framework for the illustrative visualization of medical surface data. In most visualization frameworks, only light intensity is used to determine the surface shading. The analysis of medical textbooks reveals more complex shading approaches. The parameters of these approaches are mapped to different Shading Maps, which may be weighted and flexibly combined. We ...
متن کاملObscurance-based Volume Rendering Framework
Obscurances, from which ambient occlusion is a particular case, is a technology that produces natural-looking lighting effects in a faster way than global illumination. Its application in volume visualization is of special interest since it permits us to generate a high quality rendering at a low cost. In this paper, we propose an obscurancebased framework that allows us to obtain realistic and...
