Hierarchical Visualization of Large-scale Unstructured Hexahedral Volume Data

چکیده
Multi-block unstructured hexahedral grids are widely used in numerical simulations, but they cause various problems for data visualization due to the hangingnode problem. We present a multi-resolution approach for unstructured hexahedral grid visualization based on cost-minimizing face collapses. We resolve the hangingnode problem in its general form in order to generate visualizations using cutting planes and isosurface extraction. We alleviate the problems due to discontinuities on cell boundaries by using local interpolation schemes and dual contouring approaches in cutting-plane visualization and isosurface extraction, respectively.

We propose a new approach to utilize the algorithm of Hardware-Assisted Visibility Sorting (HAVS) in the 3-D volume rendering of spherical mantle convection simulation results over unstructured grid configurations. We will also share our experience in using three different spherical convection codes and then taking full advantages of the enhanced efficiency of visualization techniques, which ar...
متن کاملCompressing Hexahedral Volume Meshes
Unstructured hexahedral volume meshes are of particular interest for visualization and simulation applications. They allow regular tiling of the three-dimensional space and show good numerical behaviour in finite element computations. Beside such appealing properties, volume meshes take huge amount of space when stored in a raw format. In this paper we present a technique for encoding connectiv...
متن کاملHigh-quality particle-based volume rendering for large-scale unstructured volume datasets
In this article, we propose a technique for improving the image quality of particle-based volume rendering (PBVR). A large-scale unstructured volume dataset often contains multiple sub-volumes, which cannot be ordered by visibility. PBVR can handle this type of volume dataset. Sampling misses often occur when the transfer function undergoes drastic changes, which can result in poor image qualit...
متن کاملVisualization of grids conforming to geological structures: a topological approach
Flexible grids are used in many Geoscience applications because they can accurately adapt to the great diversity of shapes encountered in nature. These grids raise a number difficult challenges, in particular for fast volume visualization. We propose a generic incremental slicing algorithm for versatile visualization of unstructured grids, these being constituted of arbitrary convex cells. The ...
