Scientific Visualization - Distance Learning

Welcome to this site providing resources for distance learning of different aspects of Scientific Visualization and tools for interactive 2D and 3D plots of functions, data, and other objects.

This site is developed under the project IS-03/2003 "Web-Based Computations and Visualization" supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund under the program Information Society. Project Director: E. D. Popova.

Tutorials

A mirror selection of materials from HyperVis - Teaching Scientific Visualization. Many more instructional materials can be found on the Education Directory of SIGGRAPH - the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics.

Tutorial on Visualization by Gitta Domik Tutorial on Visualization by Prof. Dr. Gitta Domik. It examines definitions, goals, history, concepts and other aspects of visualization.	Visualization Concepts Several interesting concepts of visualization systems have been collected here. Some of these concepts describe a possible support or even automation of the visualization process. Others describe new paradigms or methods for a new generation of visualization systems.
Computer-generated visualization Online slide set by Prof. Dr. Gitta Domik. All chapters are available for download in .pdf and .zip format from the index page of the tutorial.	Computer Animation "There is no particular mystery in animation... it's really very simple, and like anything that is simple, it is about the hardest thing in the world to do." Bill Tytla at the Walt Disney Studio, June 28, 1937. This tutorial includes online book on animation by Rick Parent, Ohio State University .
Ray Tracing Fine tutorial on basic concepts concerning the ray tracing technique. Includes a ray tracing demonstration program written in Java™.	Color Light, color models, gamma correction and some physiological principles for the effective use of color.
Aliasing Problems and Anti-AliasingTechniques Overview of aliasing in computer graphics, point sampling theory, super-sampling, stochastic sampling.	Teaching Texture Mapping Visually by Rosalee Wolfe, DePaul University, wolfe@cs.depaul.edu. This material in .pdf format.
