1 Introduction to Scientific Visualization Erik Brisson

2 Topics Introduction Visualization techniques Scientific data domains Software packages and workflow Conclusion

3 What is sci-vis? Could mean many things (e.g., plotting, illustration) Combination of 3-D graphics technology and human perception of objects in space

4 The Visualization Pipeline Math Proc Scientific visualization Computer Graphics

5 The Visualization Pipeline - Hardware Field instruments Scientists/programmers Supercomputers Graphics machines Publications, movies/dvds, web Demos, educational software

6 The Visualization Pipeline - Software Data acquisition and preparation Sci-vis tools Geometric Representation Rendering Post-processing

7 Scalar data in 3D: As points

8 Scalar data: Cutplanes

9 Scalar data: Regions of Interest

10 Scalar data: Isosurface w/roi

11 Transparent isosurface w/cutplanes

12 Colored isosurface w/cutplanes

13 Colored transp isosurface w/cutplanes

14 Multi isosurfaces w/cutplanes

15 Technique: Mapping onto isosurface

16 Technique: Volume Visualization

17 Vector data in 3D: Vector glyphs

18 Technique: Vector field streaklines

19 Technique: Vector field ribbons

20 Scientific data domains

21 Regular grid topology

22 Irregular grid topology

23 Software Tools and the Pipeline Data Matlab VTK OSG Maya IDL Paraview Performer OpenGL Gnuplot DAFFIE Display Wall Xmgrace Web Excel Photoshop Premier

24 Visualization Packages Matlab for visualization IDL VTK Paraview OpenGL OpenSceneGraph Maya DAFFIE and the display wall

25 MATLAB and IDL General purpose numeric packages Data analysis, simulation, mathematics Include plotting and graphics Command line / scripting Commercial software (no source available) Widely used and well supported Available on SCF machines

26 VTK and ParaView Scientific visualization packages Open source Widely used Available on SCF machines VTK is a library, many language bindings Paraview GUI based, built on VTK

27 OpenGL Widely supported at hardware level Access to all graphics card features Program from scratch Only option for some large applications

28 OpenGL primitives

29 OpenSceneGraph Program using scene graph paradigm Lots of utility functions Open source OpenGL based Similar to SGI Performer Many utility functions Notably, 3-D file readers

30 OpenSceneGraph

31 Maya screenshot

32 Maya screenshot

33 The BU DVD Wall 24 projectors 24 Linux machines Passive stereo One head node Localized sound Wireless navigation

34 Your Project Describe your work in visual / geometric way? What is goal, e.g., web, publication, presentation? What is the time line? How much learning time can you invest? How much do you expect to use?

35 Many possible workflows Data Matlab VTK OpenGL Maya IDL Paraview OSG Photoshop Gnuplot DAFFIE Performer Premier Xmgrace Excel

36 Example workflow molecular dynamics Simulation creates data files Molecule x,y,z + type colored spheres (C program) Electron density as volume data isosurfaces (IDL).obj files Rendered in Maya

37 Example workflow pressure on turbine Simulation run on supercomputer Produced many Plot3d files C code transforms data to.obj files Rendered in Maya Processed using Imagemagick for DVD Wall movies

38 Example workflow showing entropy Isosurfaces in IDL Convert output into.obj Render in Maya, with transparency View in 3D on Wall

39 Example workflow stretched water Given positions of atoms in water How to show holes? Construct volume data of distance Use volume visualization

40 Example workflow CISM Researchers used OpenDX SCV staff modified OpenDX networks Produced wall movies and demos

41 Example workflow Corporate Connections Researchers provided data SCV staff wrote custom viewing code

42 Artworld family portrait
