VisLunch/Fall2009

Coming up next Friday

- Topology-based systems for data analysis and visualization

Topological techniques have become popular for the analysis of scalar
functions, for example, for automatic feature detection and
extraction. In this informal talk, I will present an overview of the
various software solutions we are developing to solve data analysis
and visualization problems. Some topological methods currently in
development at SCI utilize Reeb graphs, Morse-Smale complexes and
Jacobi sets. Some motivation and basic background for these techniques
will be presented in the talk. In particular, the main focus of the
talk will be covering the breadth of techniques that are currently
being developed here, and an overview of the state of the software
implementations.

- Speaker: Attila Gyulassy (SCI), http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~jediati/

- Where: Conference Room 3760

- When: Friday noon (08/28)
