Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen (WS 2020/2021)

Inhalt:

The amount of data, generated in the pursuit of scientific discovery, keeps rapidly increasing across all major scientific disciplines. How can we make sense of large, time-dependent, high-dimensional and multi-variate data? This lecture provides an introduction into scientific visualization. Throughout the course, we cover the fundamental perception basics needed to convey information accurately. After categorizing different data types based on their dimensionality, we dive deeper into specific techniques for scalar and vector valued data. To facilitate the discovery of patterns and to support the communication of findings, we further elaborate on data reduction, feature extraction, and interactive exploration.

This module covers the following topics:

• a review of scalar and vector calculus

• data structures and data acquisition techniques

• direct and indirect scalar field visualization

• geometry-based, feature-based and topology-based vector field visualization

• multi-variate data visualization

-
There are voluntary exercises. Theoretical exercises concentrate on feature extraction from scalar and vector data, while programming exercises demonstrate the use of frameworks, such as the Visualization Tool Kit, to implement interactive scientific data visualizations.

The module is concluded with an electronic exam.
