Data Processing: Mars

Scientific paper

The last decade has witnessed tremendous advancements in the computer hardware and software used to perform scientific visualization. The authors consider how the visualization of a particular data set, the digital terrain model derived from the Viking orbiter imagery, has been realized in four distinct projects over this period. These examples serve to demonstrate how the vast improvements in computational performance both decrease the cost of such visualization efforts and permit an increasing level of interactivity. They consider how even today's graphical systems require the visualization designer to make intelligent choices and tradeoffs in database rendering. Finally, they discuss how insights gleaned from an understanding of human visual perception can guide these design decisions, and suggest new options for visualization hardware and software.
