Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper describes techniques, based on the extraction of geometric features, for facilitating the visualization and interactive manipulation of the typically very large and dense three-dimensional unstructured grids used in aerodynamics calculations. We discuss the difficulties that scientists currently face in efficiently and effectively displaying these meshes and propose methods for using geometric feature lines to clearly and concisely indicate the essential structural detail of the model while eliminating much of the unnecessary visual clutter. We describe the perceptual importance of specific viewpoint-dependent and view-independent features, discuss the practical implementation of simple but effective algorithms for identifying these features (taking into consideration both local and global criteria), and demonstrate the performance of each proposed technique on various types of data sets."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Visualizing unstructured-grid data from aerodynamics calculations is challenging because of the associated meshes are typically large in size and irregular in both shape and resolution. This research investigates appropriate data structures and rendering methods to allow interactive exploration of the data. In conjunction with fast splatting rendering, a multiresolution data representation based on agglomeration is used to make possible interactive visualization on a workstation. That is, data are rendered at a particular resolution according to visualization paramenters [sic] as well as the speed and memory capacity of the workstation. Interactive visualization allows the user to quickly determine regions of interest and important visualization parameters such as viewing direction and transfer functions. We then apply a more accurate, expensive rendering method to the orignal [sic] data on the regions of interest. The original data are stored on disk. We show with both analysis and experimental results that R-tree is a better data structure for fast retrieval of such disk-resident data."

Download or read book Data Visualization written by Frits H. Post and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data visualization is currently a very active and vital area of research, teaching and development. The term unites the established field of scientific visualization and the more recent field of information visualization. The success of data visualization is due to the soundness of the basic idea behind it: the use of computer-generated images to gain insight and knowledge from data and its inherent patterns and relationships. A second premise is the utilization of the broad bandwidth of the human sensory system in steering and interpreting complex processes, and simulations involving data sets from diverse scientific disciplines and large collections of abstract data from many sources. These concepts are extremely important and have a profound and widespread impact on the methodology of computational science and engineering, as well as on management and administration. The interplay between various application areas and their specific problem solving visualization techniques is emphasized in this book. Reflecting the heterogeneous structure of Data Visualization, emphasis was placed on these topics: -Visualization Algorithms and Techniques; -Volume Visualization; -Information Visualization; -Multiresolution Techniques; -Interactive Data Exploration. Data Visualization: The State of the Art presents the state of the art in scientific and information visualization techniques by experts in this field. It can serve as an overview for the inquiring scientist, and as a basic foundation for developers. This edited volume contains chapters dedicated to surveys of specific topics, and a great deal of original work not previously published illustrated by examples from a wealth of applications.

Download or read book Graph Representation Learning written by William L. William L. Hamilton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graph-structured data is ubiquitous throughout the natural and social sciences, from telecommunication networks to quantum chemistry. Building relational inductive biases into deep learning architectures is crucial for creating systems that can learn, reason, and generalize from this kind of data. Recent years have seen a surge in research on graph representation learning, including techniques for deep graph embeddings, generalizations of convolutional neural networks to graph-structured data, and neural message-passing approaches inspired by belief propagation. These advances in graph representation learning have led to new state-of-the-art results in numerous domains, including chemical synthesis, 3D vision, recommender systems, question answering, and social network analysis. This book provides a synthesis and overview of graph representation learning. It begins with a discussion of the goals of graph representation learning as well as key methodological foundations in graph theory and network analysis. Following this, the book introduces and reviews methods for learning node embeddings, including random-walk-based methods and applications to knowledge graphs. It then provides a technical synthesis and introduction to the highly successful graph neural network (GNN) formalism, which has become a dominant and fast-growing paradigm for deep learning with graph data. The book concludes with a synthesis of recent advancements in deep generative models for graphs—a nascent but quickly growing subset of graph representation learning.
