This course is an introduction to the use of computer graphics to help user gain insight into scientific datasets. Applications from atmospheric science, medicine and physics will be explored. Topics will include the fundamental approaches to scalar-valued data (volume rendering, iso-surface extraction), vector-valued data (glyphs, streamlines), and tenors-valued data (ellipsoidal, quadric and super quadric glyphs).
Learning Outcomes1Describe sources of scalar-, vector-, and tensor-valued data and the properties of the data.
2Assess the effectiveness of given visualization techniques.
3Explain the differences between multiple approaches to visualization.
4Create effective scientific visualizations using the vTk library, or tools based on vTk.
