   Feature
The analysis and visualization of tensor fields is an advancing area in scientific visualization. Topology based methods that investigate the eigenvector fields of second order tensor fields have gained increasing interest in recent years. To complete the topological analysis, Dr. Thomas Wischgoll developed an algorithm for detecting closed hyper-streamlines as an important topological feature. [Learn more...]
