NSF Young Investigator

这是一项NSF青年研究者奖。它涉及到计算机为基础的系统和方法的获取，管理和可视化岩土工程信息的研究。该研究旨在进一步整合成像和信息技术在岩土工程信息分析中的应用，利用分析数据的数字形式，因此可以很容易地用于地质力学过程的计算机可视化。重点是分析技术的发展。研究的具体方面包括获取信息的数字图像处理和分析技术、地理信息系统危害分析和岩土工程过程的可视化分析。为这些具体任务开发成像和信息系统算法和程序对于创建综合视觉分析框架的长期目标至关重要。研究和教学计划之间有很强的联系，教学计划包括一个涉及可视化的教育研究部分。它涉及到“岩土试验模拟器”的开发，将与传统的教学方法进行评估和比较。综合教学和研究计划旨在将跨学科研究和教学发展的成果整合到教育和实践中。＊＊＊

9457549 Frost This is an NSF Young Investigator Award. It involves the study of computer-based systems and methods for the acquisition, management and visualization of geotechnical engineering information. The research seeks to further integrate the use of imaging and information technologies in the analysis of geotechnical information, by taking advantage of the fact that the analyzed data is in digital form, and thus can be readily used in computer visualization of geomechanics processes. The focus is on the development of analytical techniques. Specific aspects of the research involve digital imaging processing and analysis techniques for acquiring information, geographic information system hazard analysis, and the visual analysis of geotechnical processes. The development of imaging and information system algorithms and procedures for these specific tasks is fundamental to the longer term goal of creating an integrated visual analysis framework. There are strong links between the research and the teaching plan, which comprises an educational research component involving visualization. It involves the development of a "Geotechnical Test Simulator" which will be evaluated and compared with conventional teaching methods. The combined teaching and research plans seek to integrate the results of interdisciplinary research and teaching developments into education and practice. ***
