Scientific Visualization: New Techniques in Production Software

Moreland, Kenneth D.; Childs, Hank

The field of visualization encompasses a wide range of techniques, from infographics to isosurfaces. An important subfield called "scientific visualization" is specifically dedicated to data sets with spatial components, i.e., (X, Y, Z) locations. Furthermore, this subfield's name is inspired by the fact that the data in question often come from the sciences, i.e., physics simulations or sensor networks.
