Boston University’s Scientific Computing and Visualization (SCV) group will present a workshop on scientific visualization for

the Boston University community. There is no charge for this event and no previous experience is assumed.

We will begin with a brief introduction to techniques and issues involved in scientific visualization. Graphics software and hardware resources available through SCV will be discussed. This will be followed by sessions on:

  • The scientific visualization packages VTK and Paraview
  • Using Matlab and IDL for visualization
  • Plotting with gnuplot and xmgrace
  • Image processing and animation for visualization
  • OpenGL, OpenSceneGraph, and Autodesk Maya for visualization
  • SCV’s DAFFIE and the BU Deep Vision Display wall

A demonstration of the Deep Vision Display Wall located in SCV’s Computer Graphics Lab will follow the talk, as part of an Open House available to the general Boston University community
