Visualization of conflicts and resolutions in a "Free Flight" scenario
10.1109/VISUAL.1999.809923
"Free Flight" will change today's air traffic control system by giving pilots increased flexibility to choose and modify their routes in real time, reducing costs and increasing system capacity. This increased flexibility comes at the price of increased complexity. If Free Flight is to become a reality, future air traf...

Much of the research in scientific visualization has focused on complete sets of gridded data. The paper presents our experience dealing with gridded data sets with a large number of missing or invalid data, and some of our experiments in addressing the shortcomings of standard off-the-shelf visualization algorithms. I...

Visualizing Multivalued Data from 2D Incompressible Flows Using Concepts from Painting

We present a new visualization method for 2D flows which allows us to combine multiple data values in an image for simultaneous viewing. We utilize concepts from oil painting, art and design as introduced in (Laidlaw et al., 1998) to examine problems within fluid mechanics. We use a combination of discrete and continuo...

These vector fields do exist in real application, as we show by an example of an optical measuring instrument which can gauge the displacement at the surface of a mechanical part. The general idea i...

A general method for preserving attribute values on simplified meshes

Many sophisticated solutions have been proposed to reduce the geometric complexity of 3D meshes. A problem studied less often is how to preserve on a simplified mesh the detail (e.g., color, high frequency shape detail, scalar fields, etc.) which is encoded in the original mesh. We present a general approach for preser...
