Abstract: We introduce the concept of streamballs for flow visualization. Streamballs are based upon implicit surface generation techniques adopted from the well-known metaballs. Their property to split or merge automatically in areas of significant divergence or convergence makes them an ideal tool for the visualization of arbitrary complex flow fields. Using convolution surfaces generated by continuous skeletons for streamball construction offers the possibility to visualize even tensor fields.

- 01 Oct 1992
TL;DR: The visualization of 3-D second- order tensor fields and matrix data is studied and the focus is on interactively sensing and exploring real and symmetric second-order tensor data by generalizing the vector notion of streamline to the tensor concept of hyperstreamline.

James F. Blinn
- 01 Jul 1982
TL;DR: A new algorithm applicable to other functional forms, in particular to the summation of several gaussian density distributions is presented, created to model electron density maps of molecular structures but can be used for other artistically interesting shapes.
Data Structure for Soft Objects
TL;DR: A method to represent asoft object, or collection of objects, as a surface of constant value in a scalar field over three dimensions, and its uses in animation are discussed.
Visualizing vector field topology in fluid flows
TL;DR: Methods for automating the analysis and display of vector fieldTopology in general, and flow topology in particular, are described, finding that by using techniques to extract and visualize topological information, it is possible to combine the simplicity of schematic depictions with the quantitative accuracy of curves and surfaces computed directly from the data.
