The Safari Interface for Visualizing Time-dependent Volume Data Using Iso-surfaces and Contour Spectra. Lutz Kettner, Jarek Rossignac, and Jack Snoeyink. In: Computational Geometry - Theory and Applications 25(1-2), pp. 97-116, 2003.
We describe a geometric basis for the visualization of time-varying volume data of one or several variables as they occur in scientific and engineering applications. We demonstrate a prototype interface for gridded data, extending the contour spectrum interface of Bajaj, Pascucci, and Schikore to higher dimensions and to topological properties that are not decomposable. We also describe a data structure for pentatope meshes that supports the computation of isosurfaces and their properties.
