Product Description: The nature of the physical Universe has been increasingly better understood in recent years, and cosmological concepts have undergone a rapid evolution (see, e.g., [11], [2],or [5]). Although there are alternate theories, it is generally believed that the large-scale relationships and homogeneities that we see can only be explainedby having the universe expand suddenlyin a very early “in?ationary” period...read more

Product Description: For some time, medicine has been an important driver for the development of data processing and visualization techniques. Improved technology offers the capacity to generate larger and more complex data sets related to imaging and simulation...read more

Product Description: The goal of visualization is the accurate, interactive, and intuitive presentation of data. Complex numerical simulations, high-resolution imaging devices and incre- ingly common environment-embedded sensors are the primary generators of m- sive data sets...read more

Product Description: Geometric Modeling and Scientific Visualization are both established disciplines, each with their own series of workshops, conferences and journals. But clearly both disciplines overlap; this observation led to the idea of composing a book on Geometric Modeling for Scientific Visualization...read more

Product Description: This volume contains the proceedings of the 9th IEEE Visualization Conference, held in 1999. The topics covered include: large-scale data set visualization; mesh compression; isosurfaces, glyphs and volumes; virtual reality; rendering techniques; and features, images and metrics...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
