A New Data Visualization Scheme for Real-Time Image Display

Visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans' natural visual capabilities. In the area of geological data visualization, the real-time dynamic analysis is very important for the users. Real-time data visualization and real-time feature magnification are two key points in real-time dynamic analysis. The relative study on visualization and feature magnification in this area is still rare. In this paper we design a data visualization system for real-time geological information visualization. Firstly, this paper provides two kinds of feature magnification methods: overview plus detail and focus plus context, which can present specific detailed information for users' observation and analysis. In addition, this paper discusses how to meet the real-time requirement for our data visualization system.
