Vortex tracking in scale-space
Dirk Bauer, Ronald Peikert · 2002
Scale-space techniques have become popular in computer vision for their capabiliv to access the multiscale information inherently contained in images. We show that the field of flow visualization can benefit from these techniques, too, yielding more coherent features and sorting out numerical artifacts as well as irrelevant large-scale features. We describe an implementation of scale-space computation using finite elements and show that performance is sufficient for computing a scale-space of time-dependent CFD data. Feature tracking,...
