Description
Scientific visualization is a new and rapidly growing area
in which efforts from computer graphics research and many
scientific and engineering disciplines are integrated. Its
aim is to enhance interpretation and understanding by
scientists of large amounts of data from measurements or
complex computer simulations, using computer generated
images and animation sequences. It exploits the power of
human visual perception to identify trends and structures,
and recognize shapes and patterns. Development of new
numerical simulation methods in many areas increasingly
depends on visualization as an effective way to obtain an
intuitive understanding of a problem.
This book contains a selection of papers presented at the
second Eurographics workshop on Visualization in Scientific
Computing, held in Delft, the Netherlands, in April 1991.
Theissues addressed are visualization tool and system
design, new presentation techniques for volume data and
vector fields, and numerous case studies in scientific
visualization. Application areas include geology, medicine,
fluid dynamics, molecular science, and environmental
protection.
The book will interest researchers and students in computer
graphics and scientists from many disciplines interested in
recent results in visual data analysis and presentation. It
reflects the state of the art in visualization research
and shows a wide variety of experimental systems and
imaginative applications.
