- UCSD Extension -- One Day Seminar
-
- Volume Visualization:
-
- Creating Images from Three-dimensional Scientific Data
-
- January 29, 1993
- University of California, San Diego
-
-
-
- This course will focus primarily on volume visualization,
- the imaging of three-dimensional data sets, a powerful tech-
- nique for gaining insight into both acquired and computed
- scientific data. The technique has become very popular in
- such fields as medicine, physics, mathematics, molecular
- science, and geoscience, and is indispensable for analyzing
- computational results. The seminar begins with an introduc-
- tion to volume visualization, followed by in-depth discus-
- sion of foundation algorithms and fundamental concepts.
- Students progress to a rigorous introduction to advanced
- algorithms and optimizations. The course approaches the sub-
- ject from a data-domain standpoint so that students can
- immediately apply learned techniques to their own data.
-
- Students also discuss examples, applications, commercial and
- public domain software, volume visualization futures, and
- pointers to further information. On-line demonstrations and
- hands-on training is also included. Previous exposure to
- computer graphics techniques is useful but not required.
- Note: No visitors permitted.
-
- T. Todd Elvins is an associate staff visualization program-
- mer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, one of four
- National Science Foundation supercomputer centers in the
- U.S. He works with software engineers and animators who
- research new computer graphics techniques and has been
- involved in the design and implementation of the SDSC
- Advanced Scientific Visualization Laboratory. Previously
- Elvins worked at Culler Scientific Systems in Santa Barbara,
- where he developed system software for a minisupercomputer
- project. Mr. Elvins has published numerous papers and has
- spoken in many courses on the subject of scientific visuali-
- zation. He has taught several tutorials on visualization
- for Eurographics in the United Kingdom, and has given
- invited visualization talks in Russia, Brazil, Venezuela,
- and Austria. Elvins chaired the 1990 ACM San Diego Workshop
- on Volume Visualization. He can be reached at (619) 534-
- 5128 to answer questions about the course.
