Glyphs for Space-Time Jacobians of Time-Dependent Vector Fields

Gerrits T, Rössl C, Theisel H

Zusammenfassung

As Jacobians are a Special Case of General Second-Order 2D and 3D Tensors, an Extension to the 2D and 3D Tensor Glyph Design is Introduced. These Glyphs Are Capable to Additionally Encode the Temporal Information Given by a Time-Dependent Jacobian by Chosing An Appropriate Mapping From an Higher Dimension Into the Visualization Subspace.
