Converting Data to Geometry
Data Geometry
- Most important and most difficult step
Some data imply natural translations
- Data which is geometry (terrain)
- Scalar data (atmospheric pressure)
- 2D vector data (2D fluid flow)
Methods for converting data to geometry
- Slices (2D cross sections)
- Isosurface (3D contours)
- Volume Rendering (direct viewing)
- Streamlines (vector flow)
