Implicit Curves: From Discrete Extraction to Applied Formalism
ICGG 2022 - Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Geometry and Graphics(2022)
摘要
This paper addresses the issue of visualizing the right information among large data sets by proposing to represent raw data as a set of mathematically-based implicit curves. Implicit curves are proving to be a powerful yet underused tool. The methodology we propose not only allows a more relevant visualization of information, but also a faster and efficient access to it: (1) since curves are extracted and compressed during precomputation, real-time rendering is possible on the end-user’s computer, even for very large datasets; (2) this property can be extended by enabling real-time data access and transfer at the server level – i.e. simultaneously saving local storage costs and increasing raw data security. Our proposal also achieved a high compression ratio (3%) while maintaining the visual significance of the data and reducing discrete artifacts such as curve gaps and pixel aliasing. We based our tests using two-dimensional height maps, but extending it to more dimensions is not a problem since we can consider any two-dimensional slice in these data.
