Visibility Management in Integration-based Flow Visualization

A. Brambilla

Abstract

The analysis of flow phenomena holds an important role in several fields, such as engineering and medicine. Flow visualization techniques aim at easing the investigation process by depicting the flow data through graphical entities. Specifically, integration-based methods employ lines and surfaces in order to visualize the long-term behavior of fluid particles. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to integration-based flow visualization, present its advantages and discuss its main limitations, i.e., cluttering and occlusion. I will then present my recent work addressing these limitations. Two projects will be described: (1) A selection strategy for integral surfaces, which aims at detecting a small number of highly informative integral surfaces. (2) A technique for easing the investigation and comparison of surface families, based on a 2D reformation process.
