U.S. Brazil Collaborative Research: 3D Modeling and Visualization

这个美国-巴西奖支持Claudio T. Silva和他在犹他州大学的同事与里约热内卢Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada的VISGRAF实验室的Luiz Velho博士以及巴西南里奥格兰德联邦大学的同事在大规模数据集的可视化和3D建模领域进行合作。 在这个项目中，研究人员将开发能够在3D环境建模和渲染以及科学可视化的背景下处理非常大的真实世界数据的工具。 由此产生的工件，算法和建模和可视化工具将与研究社区共享。这里提出的这种类型的超大型数据集的获取，管理和可视化正在成为许多领域科学研究的重要组成部分。 该项目利用了来自美国和巴西的团队的专业知识，并将增强对数据采集，处理，管理和交互式可视化的端到端理解。 该项目的结果将对所有需要可视化并在管理非常大的数据集方面遇到问题的相关学科产生重大影响。

This U.S.-Brazil award supports Dr. Claudio T. Silva and co-workers at the University of Utah to collaborate with Dr. Luiz Velho at the VISGRAF Laboratory at Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada in Rio de Janeiro as well as colleagues from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil in the area of visualization and 3D modeling of large-scale data sets. In this project the researchers will develop tools that can handle very large real-world data in the context of the modeling and rendering of 3D environments and scientific visualization. The resulting artifacts, algorithms, and tools for modeling and visualization will be shared with the research community.The acquisition, management, and visualization of very large data sets of the type proposed here are becoming very important components of scientific research in a number of areas. This project leverages the expertise of the groups from both the U.S. and Brazil and will enhance the end-to-end understanding of data acquisition, processing, management, and interactive visualization. The results of this project will have a high impact on all the related disciplines that need visualization and suffer from problems in managing very large data sets.
