What is Visualization • As described on Wikipedia • Illustration • Information Graphics – visual representations of information data or knowledge • Mental Image – imagination • Spatial Visualization – ability to mentally manipulate 2dimensional and 3dimensional figures • Computer Graphics • Interactive Imaging • Music visual IEEE on Visualization “Traditionally the tool of the statistician and engineer, information visualization has increasingly become a powerful new medium for artists and designers as well. Owing in part to the mainstreaming of computer graphics and the democratization of information sources on the Internet, this new cadre of creative researchers has discovered the possibility of visualization techniques to reveal thought-provoking but otherwise hidden narratives. Often using little more than home computers and widely available programming toolkits, artists and designers have taken material evidence into their own hands and expanded the conceptual horizons of information visualization as a mode of artistic practice and critical inquiry.” http://vis.computer.org TRB on Visualization “…visualization technologies have continued to evolve at a considerable pace, yet the highway transportation industry is still years behind its counterparts in aerospace, architecture, plant facilities, automotive, shipping, and others, when it comes to fully embracing visualization tools and the corresponding mindsets. Times, however, are changing. Recent technologies are gaining the awareness and interest of transportation organizations. As fascinating as these advancements are, it is still not clear how visualization directly assists in addressing our transportation needs.” Excerpt taken from TRB 5th International Visualization in Transportation Symposium program guide dated Oct. 2006 A Visual of Visualization http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table.html Basic Visual Goals • Able to reach 8th grade level • Attention grabbing • Doesn’t require explanation • Says everything without saying anything (hidden narratives) • Ability to create either stationary, animated or interactive images – driven by the viewer experience Image Rendering (Ray Tracing) • Rendering is the process of creating an image by calculating expected behavior of light against a given material and surface type • Referred to as Ray Tracing since light rays are diffused and/or absorbed during the process The Graphics Turing Test • Based upon Alan Turing’s 1950 test of Artificial Intelligence which states “a judge in three way conversation between a computer and another human should not be able to distinguish the computer from the human” • Graphics variant sets bar at real time rendering for truly photo realistic animations as the scene is modified by human interaction – virtual reality or “The Matrix” effect • Not there yet, but VERY rapidly approaching – ABC News article dated 4/4/08 The Hardware Research • Scalable Visualization using off the shelf components and Monte Carlo estimation http://www.hp.com/techservers/hpc cn/sci_vis/scale_vis_otsc.html • High Performance Clustering for Visualization http://www.zdnet.com.au/whitepaper/0,2000063328,22442841p-16001495q,00.htm • Seeing the Future – Scaling, Sharing, and Scheduling Visualization Resources http://www.sun.com/servers/visualization/wp.pdf • The power of scalable visualization http://www.sgi.com/pdfs/3620.pdf How Visualization was evaluated for ARC • Standalone Tools • GIS enhancements • CAD resources • Spatial Drafting • Image Rendering and Animation(CGI) • Broadcast and Publication Software -

    Tracepro's Accurate LED Source Modeling Improves the Performance of Optical Design Simulations

    TECHNICAL ARTICLE March, 2015 TracePro’s accurate LED source modeling improves the performance of optical design simulations. Modern optical modeling programs allow product design engineers to create, analyze, and optimize LED sources and LED optical systems as a virtual prototype prior to manufacturing the actual product. The precision of these virtual models depends on accurately representing the components that make up the model, including the light source. This paper discusses the physics behind light source modeling, source modeling options in TracePro, selection of the best modeling method, comparing modeled vs measured results, and source model reporting. Ray Tracing Physics and Source Representation In TracePro and other ray tracing programs, LED sources are represented as a series of individual rays, each with attributes of wavelength, luminous flux, and direction. To obtain the most accurate results, sources are typically represented using millions of individual rays. Source models range from simple (e.g. point source) to complex (e.g. 3D model) and can involve complex interactions completely within the source model. For example, a light source with integrated TIR lens can effectively be represented as a “source” in TracePro. However, sources are usually integrated with other components to represent the complete optical system. We will discuss ray tracing in this context. Ray tracing engines, in their simplest form, employ Snell’s Law and the Law of Reflection to determine the path and characteristics of each individual ray as it passes through the optical system. Figure 1 illustrates a simple optical system with reflection and refraction. Figure 1 – Simple ray trace with refraction and reflection TracePro’s sophisticated ray tracing engine incorporates specular transmission and reflection, scattered transmission and reflection, absorption, bulk scattering, polarization, fluorescence, diffraction, and gradient index properties.

Scianna, A. Ammoscato CNR-ICAR, Viale delle Scienze edificio 11, 90128 Palermo, Italy – [email protected],[email protected] Commission IV, ICWG IV/8 KEY WORDS: Cartography, GIS, Technology, Interoperability, Spatial, Global-Environmental-Databases ABSTRACT: Today many kinds of applications requires data containing actual three-dimensional data; fields like urban and town planning and pollution studies need 3D data, both for visualization purpose, as well as carry out many spatial analysis. This research -Management and use of distributed 3D data by open source Web-GIS software - is part of the Italian "PRIN 2007"* research project, aimed to build urban and suburban 3D models, and to interact with them using open source software only. Particularly free and open source software, used for the experimentation here shown, are Blender and PostGIS; the first one has been used to build and structure three-dimensional data, the second one for data allocation. These software interact using scripts, written in Python language. Buildings have been modeled upon the GIANT3D model (Geographical Interoperable Advanced Numerical Topological 3- Dimensional Model) developed in the research "PRIN 2004", regarding "Evolved structure of numerical cartography for Gis and Web-GIS". Python scripts, activated by Blender, allow to allocate data into a spatial database implemented through PostgreSQL and PostGis, that could be a remote database somewhere on the net; all geometrical and topological information, implemented in the 3D model, are so transferred in PostGIS.

While it is relatively straightforward to handle displacement shaders in pipeline based rendering systems such as the Reyes-architecture, it is much harder to efficiently integrate displacement-mapped surfaces in ray-tracers. Many commercial ray-tracers tessellate the surface into a multitude of small trian- Figure 1: A simple displacement shader showing a gles.

    GETTING STARTED PHOTO REALISTIC RENDERS OF YOUR 3D MODELS Available for Ver. 1.01 © Kerkythea 2008 Echo Date: April 24th, 2008 GETTING STARTED Page 1 of 41 Written by: The KT Team GETTING STARTED Preface: Kerkythea is a standalone render engine, using physically accurate materials and lights, aiming for the best quality rendering in the most efficient timeframe. The target of Kerkythea is to simplify the task of quality rendering by providing the necessary tools to automate scene setup, such as staging using the GL real-time viewer, material editor, general/render settings, editors, etc., under a common interface. Reaching now the 4th year of development and gaining popularity, I want to believe that KT can now be considered among the top freeware/open source render engines and can be used for both academic and commercial purposes. In the beginning of 2008, we have a strong and rapidly growing community and a website that is more "alive" than ever! KT2008 Echo is very powerful release with a lot of improvements. Kerkythea has grown constantly over the last year, growing into a standard rendering application among architectural studios and extensively used within educational institutes. Of course there are a lot of things that can be added and improved. But we are really proud of reaching a high quality and stable application that is more than usable for commercial purposes with an amazing zero cost! Ioannis Pantazopoulos January 2008 Like the heading is saying, this is a Getting Started “step-by-step guide” and it’s designed to get you started using Kerkythea 2008 Echo.

Tutkimusprojektit kasvavat jatkuvasti, mikä aiheuttaa tarpeen suuremmalle tietokoneteholle ja lisää kustannuksia. Ratkaisuksi tähän ongelmaan tiedemiehet ovat kehittäneet hajautetun laskennan järjestelmiä, joiden tarkoituksena on tarjota vaihtoehto kalliille supertietokoneille.

Palvelu hyödyntää hajautettua laskentaa nopeuttamaan 3D-animaatioiden renderöintiä. Tämä tarjoaa uusia mahdollisuuksia mallintajille ja animaatioelokuvien tekijöille joilta tavallisesti kuluu paljon aikaa ja tietokoneresursseja töidensä valmiiksi saattamiseksi.
