Abstract

Visualization is the process of converting a large set of numbers produced by a numerical simulation or experiment into a graphical image. Since the ultimate goal is to better understand the underlying science, it is crucial to isolate, identify, and quantify important regions and structures. We discuss feature-based techniques which can be incorporated into standard visualization algorithms to greatly enhance the quantification and visualization of observed phenomena.
