We show that contour trees can be computed in all dimensions by a simple algorithm that
merges two trees. Our algorithm extends, simplifies, and improves work of Tarasov and …

The contour tree is an abstraction of a scalar field that encodes the nesting relationships of
isosurfaces. We show how to use the contour tree to represent individual contours of a scalar …

In this thesis, I show how to use the topological information encoded manipulation of individual
contour surfaces in an isosurface scene, using an interface called the'flexible isosurface'. …

The contour tree, an abstraction of a scalar field that encodes the nesting relationships of
isosurfaces, can be used to accelerate isosurface extraction, to identify important isovalues for …

Understanding fluid flow data, especially vortices, is still a challenging task. Sophisticated
visualization tools help to gain insight. In this paper, we present a novel approach for the …

Topology provides a foundation for the development of mathematically sound tools for
processing and exploration of scalar fields. Existing topology-based methods can be used to …

Traditional documentation capabilities of laser scanning technology can be further exploited
for urban modeling through the transformation of resulting point clouds into solid models …

This paper presents the fundamental mathematics to determine the minimum crack width
detectable with a terrestrial laser scanner in unit-based masonry. Orthogonal offset, interval …

Automated conversion of point cloud data from laser scanning into formats appropriate for
structural engineering holds great promise for exploiting increasingly available aerially and …

Contour Trees and Reeb Graphs are firmly embedded in scientific visualization for analysing
univariate (scalar) fields. We generalize this analysis to multivariate fields with a data …
