Scientific Visualization

Abstract

Scientific Visualization is currently a very active and vital area of research, teaching and development. The success of Scientific Visualization is mainly due to the soundness of the basic premise behind it, that is, the basic idea of using computer-generated pictures to gain information and understanding from data (geometry) and relationships (topology). This is an extremely intuitive and very important concept which is having a profound and wide spread impact on the methodology of science and engineering.In this survey we are concentrating on three main research areas in Scientific Visualization• Intelligent Visualization Systems• Visualization of Vector- and Tensorfields• Augmented Reality Simulation
