1 Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.; Johnson, Christopher R.Computational steering and the SCIRun integrated problem solving environmentSCIRun is a problem solving environment that allows the interactive construction, debugging, and steering of large-scale scientific computations. We review related systems and introduce a taxonomy that explores different computational steering solutions. Considering these approaches, we discuss why ...Computational steering; Problem solving environment; SCIRun; Volume rendering1997
2 Hansen, Charles D.Scout: a hardware-accelerated system for quantitatively driven visualization and analysisQuantitative techniques for visualization are critical to the successful analysis of both acquired and simulated scientific data. Many visualization techniques rely on indirect mappings, such as transfer functions, to produce the final imagery. In many situations, it is preferable and more powerful ...Visualization systems; Hardware acceleration; Volume rendering; Multivariate visualization2004
3 Johnson, Christopher R.; Parker, Steven G.; Whitaker, Ross T.; Hansen, Charles D.Computational field visualizationToday, scientists, engineers, and medical researchers routinely use computers to simulate complex physical phenomena. Such simulations present new challenges for computational scientists, including the need to effectively analyze and visualize complex three-dimensional data. As simulations become mo...Volume rendering; Isosurface extraction; Ray tracing; Multi-field visualizations2001
4 Hansen, Charles D.Volume rendering multivariate data to visualize meteorological simulations: a case studyHigh resolution computational weather models are becoming increasing complex. However, the analysis of these models has not benefited from recent advancements in volume visualization. This case study applies the ideas and techniques from multi-dimensional transfer function based volume rendering to ...Volume rendering; Direct volume rendering; Isosurfaces; Ray casting; Ray differentials; Transfer function; Preintegration; View dependent2002
5 Hansen, Charles D.Cluster-based interactive volume rendering with SimianCommodity-based computer clusters offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional largescale, tightly coupled computers as a means to provide high-performance computational and visualization services. The Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions (C-SAFE) at the University of...Volume rendering; Simian2003-09-03
6 Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.Distributed interactive ray tracing for large volume visualizationWe have constructed a distributed parallel ray tracing system that interactively produces isosurface renderings from large data sets on a cluster of commodity PCs. The program was derived from the SCI Institute's interactive ray tracer (*-Ray), which utilizes small to large shared memory platforms, ...Ray tracing; Volume rendering; Large data; Cluster computing; Distributed shared memory2003
7 Hansen, Charles D.Interactive texture-based volume rendering for large data setsVisualization is an integral part of scientific computation and simulation. State-of-the-art simulations of physical systems can generate terabytes to petabytes of time-varying data where a single time step can contain more than a gigabyte of data per variable. As memory sizes continue to increase, ...Parallel rendering; Volume rendering; TRex2001
8 Hansen, Charles D.Interactive translucent volume rendering and procedural modelingDirect volume rendering is a commonly used technique in visualization applications.
