• Title of visualization course: Visualization

• Aimed at what category of students: Students of Computer Science

• Objectives of the course:
  • This course provides basic knowledge on visualizing, exploring and analyzing large amounts of data. Focus is onmehtods for 3D visualization.
  • The first part (introduction) provides a series of examples to give an overview of computer-generated visualization and its applications.
  • The second part ( algorithms and data structures) details methods of data representation a well as basic visualization techniques. This section includes
    • mapping of data to color (color spaces, color scales),
    • mapping of data to isolines and isosurfaces
    • interpolation techniques
  • The third part (algorithms of 3D visualization) details volume visualization and flow visualization techniques.

• List topics of course :
• Examples of visualization
• Principles of visualization and perception
• data structures
• visualization techniques
• visualization algorithms
• uncertainty in visualization
• visualization of muli paramater data
• visualization of volume data
• flow visualization
