Description:
In scientific disciplines such as mechanics, medical imaging, or fluid dynamics, simulations and measurements are used to gain an understanding of real-world phenomena. Working with and analyzing such data allows scientists to derive better insights, improve current models that try to describe real-world processes, or make better predictions about future events. Increasing computing power as well as advances in algorithms and measuring techniques allow for larger amounts as well as for more accurate data. Additionally, to make data more reliable and trustworthy, the uncertainty of the system or the measurements can also be recorded, and the information made available. This, however, also makes it harder to process, structure, and understand the resulting information. Visualizing high-dimensional, uncertain, or multivariate data has therefore grown to be a major challenge in the field of scientific visualization. The fields of our contributions are twofold: First, we introduce novel visualization techniques for second-order tensors. These mathematical objects are used to describe physical quantities in a variety of applications, from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to describing derivatives of vector fields. Glyphs have proven to be a valuable visualization for domain experts. While most of the known glyph techniques are limited to symmetric second-order tensors only, we introduce a new glyph design capable of encoding any given 2D or 3D secondorder tensor following a set of design principles. We further extend the new construction which then allows the glyphs to represent Jacobian matrices of unsteady vector fields. The final contribution in this field is a novel extension for a variety of tensor glyphs to represent uncertain symmetric second-order tensors. Secondly, we deal with vector field ensembles. A single vector field often describes the movement of liquids like wind or water. A vector field ensemble is a collection of such fields over the same domain that might either be the results of simulations with ...
