Visualization of 3D Scalar Fields.- Vector Field Visualization.- Perception-Oriented and Non-Photorealistic Rendering.- Conclusion.

This book presents efficient visualization techniques, a prerequisite for the interactive exploration of complex data sets. High performance is demonstrated as a process of devising algorithms for the fast graphics processing units (GPUs) of modern graphics hardware. Coverage includes parallelization on cluster computers with several GPUs, adaptive rendering methods, and non-photorealistic rendering techniques for visualization.
