RIS | RefWorks Download OPOLOGICAL analysis is an increasingly
important approach for visualization and analysis of scientific
data in many fields, with relevance for data sets originating in
a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from materials science
to medicine. Transfer function design for volume rendering can
be viewed as an application of topological characterization,
where certain regions of data sets corresponding to ranges of
function values are assigned optical properties such as color
and opacity. These regions allow a

remain attractive due to their simplicity, reproducibility, and
minimal user involvement, but they cannot be usedwhensignifi
