Interactive distributed visualization is an emerging technology with numerous applications. However, many of the present approaches to interactive distributed visualization have limited performance since they are based on the traditional polygonal processing graphics pipeline. In contrast, image-based rendering uses multiple images of the scene instead of a 3D geometrical representation, and so...

Dealing with high-dimensional data becomes very common nowadays; visualization is a natural preprocessing to have an overview of such data. A lot of dimensionality reduction methods exist; many of them require to tune a parameter implementing a trade-off between conflicting objectives. Automatically choosing the appropriate trade-off is usually a difficult task because in most cases the exact f...

In this article, we present a novel technique for visualization of three-dimensional (3D) surface models, as well as its implementation in a system called AnatomyBrowser. Using our approach, visualization of 3D surface models is performed in two separate steps: a pre-rendering step, in which the models are rendered and saved in a special format, and an actual display step, in which the final re...

The score of the piano work nr. 7 Klavierstu ck XI by Karlheinz Stockhausen (1957) [4] consists of 19 fragments of music. The performer is instructed to choose at random one of these fragments, and play it; then choose another, different, fragment and play that, and so on. If a fragment is chosen that has already been played twice, the performance ends. It is natural to ask how many different w...

Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Final Report: High Performance Computing and Visualization Infrastructure for Simultaneous Parallel Computing and Parallel Visualization Research Report Title The objective of this DURIP project was to acquire an HPC cluster and Mini CAVE to support research involving simultaneous parallel computing and parallel visualization at the Universi...

According to the need of canopy visualization calculation in the digital plant research, we introduced a method, using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) interpolation and multi-line segment splitting algorithm, to reconstruct the 3D morphological structure of maize leaf with a complexity controllable mesh. Using the data cloud obtained by digitizer, construct the surface of maize leaf by c...

SUMMARY We present a report on the Resource-Aware Visualization Environment (RAVE) project, from its inception and design phases, through implementation choices and final actual use cases. The RAVE (Resource-Aware Visualization Environment) is a distributed, collaborative Grid enabled visualization environment that supports automated resource discovery across heterogeneous machines. RAVE runs a...

We discuss approaches to agent-based model visualization. Agent-based modeling has its own requirements for visualization, some shared with other forms of simulation software, and some unique to this approach. In particular, agent-based models are typified by complexity, dynamism, nonequilibrium and transient behavior, heterogeneity, and a researcher's interest in both individual- and aggregate...
