摘要 流可视化是科学可视化的一个经典子领域。流可视化算法的任务是描述矢量数据，即具有大小和方向的数据。流可视化技术的一个重要类别利用纹理来传达矢量场的属性。最近，在密集的、基于纹理的技术这一特殊类别中取得了一些研究进展。我们展示了最新的基于纹理的技术在海洋学和气象学、汽车工业中的计算流体动力学 (CFD) 和医学的现实世界数据中的应用。我们描述了使用基于纹理的算法的动机以及将其成功纳入工业级软件所需的最新重要进展。我们的目标是吸引该领域的从业者有兴趣了解这些最新技术如何帮助他们深入了解工程师和其他专业人员每天可能面临的问题。其中许多应用直到最近才成为可能。
Abstract Flow visualization is a classic sub-field of scientific visualization. The task of flow visualization algorithms is to depict vector data, i.e., data with magnitude and direction. An important category of flow visualization techniques makes use of textures in order to convey the properties of a vector field. Recently, several research advances have been made in this special category, of dense, texture-based techniques. We present the application of the most recent texture-based techniques to real world data from oceanography and meteorology, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the automotive industry, and medicine. We describe the motivations for using texture-based algorithms as well as the important recent advancements required for their successful incorporation into industry grade software. Our goal is to appeal to practitioners in the field interested in learning how these recent techniques can help them gain insight into problems that engineers and other professionals may be faced with on a daily basis. Many of these applications have only recently become possible.
