Immersive visualization and interactive analysis of ground penetrating radar data

摘要: Ground Penetrating Radar is a geophysical technique for obtaining information about sub-surface earth materials. Geologists use the data collected to obtain view of terrain underground. This typically viewed using desktop interface where user usually interacts keyboard and mouse. Visualizing in slice by 2D format can be difficult interpret. Instead, we created program an immersive visualization environment that uses tracked input devices. done real-time, stereoscopic, perspective-corrected, slice-based volume rendering. To aid with modify display integrated tools, such as transfer functions, lighting, color maps. Users are also given analysis tools take application-specific measurements dip, strike, other angles, distances 3D. Compared typical interactions, 6-degree freedom provided makes it notably easier perform measurements.
