Modio - Interactive Sound Visualization, Kwon Hyouck Jin
Modio - Interactive Sound Visualization, Kwon Hyouck Jin
Theses
The word “Modio” is a compound word of Motion and Audio, which I coined for this thesis. The intent of this thesis is an interactive installation project that will explore and convert musical elements into visual elements, which will lead to various responses to the change caused by users’ interaction.
Perceptual Display Strategies Of Hyperspectral Imagery Based On Pca And Ica, Hongqin Zhang, David W. Messinger, Ethan Montag
Perceptual Display Strategies Of Hyperspectral Imagery Based On Pca And Ica, Hongqin Zhang, David W. Messinger, Ethan Montag
Presentations and other scholarship
This study investigated appropriate methodologies for displaying hyperspectral imagery based on knowledge of human color vision as applied to Hyperion and AVIRIS data. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) were used to reduce the data dimensionality in order to make the data more amenable to visualization in three-dimensional color space. In addition, these two methods were chosen because of their underlying relationships to the opponent color model of human color perception. PCA and ICA-based visualization strategies were then explored by mapping the first three PCs or ICs to several opponent color spaces including CIELAB, HSV, YCrCb, and …
Web-Based 3-D Theatre Seating Charts And Ticket Reservation Application, Patrick Henstebeck
Web-Based 3-D Theatre Seating Charts And Ticket Reservation Application, Patrick Henstebeck
Theses
Seating charts for theatres and stadia have always been an important part of buying tickets to a staged event, despite offering little information about the view from any particular seat. While the internet has increased the potential to provide this information, most official arena websites and online ticket brokers still only provide the standard two-dimensional diagram whose detail is limited to the approximate location of each section and which offers no guidance as to the height or slope of the section, nor any warning of any obstructing objects that would depreciate a seat s true value. The few three-dimensional models …
Study Of Visualizations For N-Body Stellar Models, Christian Gray
Study Of Visualizations For N-Body Stellar Models, Christian Gray
Theses
The visualization of large datasets is invaluable to the advancement of scientific knowledge. N-Body problems produced large dataset that present several challenges to visualization. These challenges include over-plotting and self-obscuring data. Using the general visualization framework, Spiegel, five different visualization techniques are explored to solve these problems: slicing, projection, 3D projection, 3D density shells, and direct volume rendering. Each visualization looks to solve the problem in a slightly different manner while all have kernel density estimation as their starting point. While none of the visualization is ground breaking or perfectly solves the problems they do provide new insight allowing for …
Experimental Study Of Flow Boiling Heat Transfer And Critical Heat Flux In Microchannels, Wai Keat Kuan
Experimental Study Of Flow Boiling Heat Transfer And Critical Heat Flux In Microchannels, Wai Keat Kuan
Theses
Advancements in microprocessors and other high power electronics have resulted in increased heat dissipation from those devices. In addition, to reduce cost, the functionality of microprocessor per unit area has been increasing. The increase in functionality accompanied by reduction in chip size has caused its thermal management to be challenging. In order to dissipate the increase in heat generation, the size of conventional fin-type heat sinks has to be increased. As a result, the performance of these high heat flux generating electronics is often limited by the available cooling technology and space to accommodate the larger conventional air-cooled heat sinks. …
N-Body Visualizations, William Mclaughlin
N-Body Visualizations, William Mclaughlin
Theses
In the age of technology and information, data calculations and visualizations are key to the communication and understanding of the world in which we live. It is sometimes difficult to display data in a way to make it clear and understanding, or is difficult to calculate the data to be displayed. The N-body problem has elements of both. The N-body problem is a set of N particles representing stars that move in response to the gravitational force generated by the N-1 other particles. There have been many attacks to this problem. The GRAPEcluster Project of RIT has developed software and …
Visualizing The Inner Structure Of N-Body Data, Edward Dale
Visualizing The Inner Structure Of N-Body Data, Edward Dale
Theses
N-body simulations produce a large amount of data that must be visualized in order to extract interesting features. This data consists of thousands of particles, each with a number of properties such as velocity, mass, and acceleration, that are persisted across hundreds of time steps. Rendering these points using traditional means quickly leads to a image that is satu- rated because the number of particles is greater than the number of pixels available. Volume rendering, and particularly splatting, seeks to remedy this and allows one to see inside the volume and discern the inner structure. The definition of inner structure …
