Download or read book Visualization and Processing of Tensor Fields written by Joachim Weickert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matrix-valued data sets – so-called second order tensor fields – have gained significant importance in scientific visualization and image processing due to recent developments such as diffusion tensor imaging. This book is the first edited volume that presents the state of the art in the visualization and processing of tensor fields. It contains some longer chapters dedicated to surveys and tutorials of specific topics, as well as a great deal of original work by leading experts that has not been published before. It serves as an overview for the inquiring scientist, as a basic foundation for developers and practitioners, and as as a textbook for specialized classes and seminars for graduate and doctoral students.
