Tóm tắt

We propose an event-based analysis system for comparison of several ensemble time-varying simulations. In this pipeline, users can customize the selection of events (i.e., the keyframes of the simulations) for each simulation on the timeline view. The associated rendered thumbnails are tiled in the rendered thumbnail view. The ticks on the timeline and the rendered thumbnails are connected by a link. Users are allowed to do 3D exploration on the render thumbnails and the high-resolution view on which the details can be displayed. Switching between different variables is supported to assist users in exploring the rendering of different ensemble variables or even combinations of variables. We apply our system into the deep water impact ensemble dataset. The system is proved to have the ability to help users better explore the simulations.
