Title:
Recovery Act - Multi-Resolution Streaming for Remote Scalable Visualization
Summary:
This project will extend the popular VTK and Paraview visualization software packages to provide robust and efficient adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) support. AMR techniques automatically adapt the image resolution to the needs of the user, such as providing finer details of an object as the user zooms in. While AMR techniques are common for 2D objects (photographs), 3D objects present significant challenges both in loading the large data images and in maintaining control over the zoom in/out function. This project will address these issues, allowing a wide variety of science communities including astrophysics and combustion to use multi-resolution images of 3D objects.
