Visualizing scalar volumetric data with uncertainty
Increasingly, more importance is placed on the uncertainty information of data being displayed. This paper focuses
on techniques for visualizing 3D scalar data sets with corresponding uncertainty information at each point which is also
representedas a scalar value. In Djurcilov (in: D. Ebert, J.M. Favre, R. Peikert (Eds.), Data Visualization 2001,
Springer, Berlin, 2001), we presentedtwo general methods (inline DVR approach anda post-processing approach) for
carrying out this task. The first methodinvolves incorporating the uncertainty information directly into the volume
rendering equation. The second method involves post-processing information of volume rendered images to composite
uncertainty information.
