Abstracting Attribute Space for Transfer Function Exploration and Design

by unknown authors
"... Abstract—Currently, user centered transfer function design begins with the user interacting with a one or two-dimensional histogram of the volumetric attribute space. The attribute space is visualized as a function of the number of voxels, allowing the user to explore the data in terms of the attrib ..."

Abstract Feature Space Representation for Volumetric Transfer Function Exploration

by Ross Maciejewski, Yun Jang, David S. Ebert, Kelly P. Gaither
"... The application of n-dimensional transfer functions for feature segmentation has become increas-ingly popular in volume rendering. Recent work has focused on the utilization of higher order dimensional transfer functions incorporating spatial dimensions (x, y, and z) along with tra-ditional feature ..."

the number of voxels that maps to that entry. In the case of an abstract transfer function design, the amount of spatial variance at that histogram coordinate is mapped instead, thereby relating additional information about the data abstrac-tion in the projected space. Finally, a non-parametric kernel

Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration as a Front- End for Effective

by Adam M. Ross, Daniel E. Hastings, Joyce M. Warmkessel, Nathan P. Diller - Space System Design AIAA JSR
"... The inability to approach systematically the high level of ambiguity present in the early design phases of space systems causes long, highly iterative, and costly design cycles. A process is introduced and described to capture decision maker preferences and use them to generate and evaluate a multit ..."

Multi-attribute tradespace exploration with concurrent design, a process incorporating decision theory into model- and simulation-based design, has been applied to several space system projects at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Preliminary results indicate

The Attributed-Behavior Abstraction and Synthesis Tools

by Lawrence F. Arnstein, Don Thomas
"... Though high-level synthesis tools seem to fit nicely into the algorithmic model is transformed into a detailed register transfer level implementation, there is an important difference between filling in the details by hand and relying on a high-level synthesis tool to do so. Unlike the hand-designer ..."

Functional Abstraction driven Design Space Exploration of Heterogeneous Programmable Architectures

by Prabhat Mishra, et al. - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON SYSTEM SYNTHESIS (ISSS , 2001
"... Rapid Design Space Exploration (DSE) of a programmable architecture is feasible using an automatic toolkit (compiler, simulator, assembler) generation methodology driven byan Architecture Description Language (ADL). While many contemporary ADLs can effectively capture one class of architecture, the ..."

ABSTRACT Image-Based Transfer Function Design for Data Exploration in Volume Visualization

by Shiaofen Fang, Tom Biddlecome, Mihran Tuceryan
"... Transfer function design is an integrated component in volume visualization and data exploration. The common trial-and-error approach for transfer function searching is a very difficult and timeconsuming process. A goal-oriented and parameterized transfer function model is, therefore, crucial in gui ..."

An abstract modeling approach towards system-level design-space exploration

by F. N. Van Wijk, J. P. M. Voeten - in Proceedings of the Forum on specification and Design Language , 2002
"... Abstract: Integration of increasingly complex systems on a chip augments the need of system-level methods for specification and design. In the earliest phases of the design process important design decisions can be taken on the basis of a fast exploration of the design space. This paper describes an ..."
