Tensor Topology Tracking: A Visualization Method For Time-Dependent 2D Symmetric Tensor Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Topological methods produce simple and meaningful depictions of symmetric, second order two-dimensional tensor fields. Extending previous work dealing with vector fields, we propose here a scheme for the visualization of time-dependent tensor fields. Basic notions of unsteady tensor topology are discussed. Topological changes known as bifurcations are precisely detected and identified by our method which permits an accurate tracking of degenerate points and related structures.

متن کاملComplete Tensor Field Topology on 2D Triangulated Manifolds embedded in 3D
This paper is concerned with the extraction of the surface topology of tensor fields on 2D triangulated manifolds embedded in 3D. In scientific visualization topology is a meaningful instrument to get a hold on the structure of a given dataset. Due to the discontinuity of tensor fields on a piecewise planar domain, standard topology extraction methods result in an incomplete topological skeleto...
متن کاملMeshing of Diffusion Surfaces for Point-Based Tensor Field Visualization
The visualization of 3D vector and tensor fields in a 2D image is challenging because the large amount of information will either be mixed during projection to 2D or lead to severe occlusion problems. In this work we segment from the symmetric 3D tensor field regions dominated by stream tubes and regions dominated by diffusion surfaces. The diffusion surfaces are integrated with a higher order ...
متن کاملRobustness for 2D Symmetric Tensor Field Topology
Topological feature analysis is a powerful instrument to understand the essential structure of a dataset. For such an instrument to be useful in applications, however, it is important to provide some importance measure for the extracted features that copes with the high feature density and discriminates spurious from important structures. Although such measures have been developed for scalar an...
متن کامل2D Asymmetric Tensor Field Topology
In this chapter we define the topology of 2D asymmetric tensor fields in terms of two graphs corresponding to the eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis for the tensor fields, respectively. Asymmetric tensor field topology can not only yield a concise representation of the field, but also provide a framework for spatial-temporal tracking of field features. Furthermore, inherent topological constra...
