6.4 Scalability
(a) A standard mapping of velocity magnitude to
a color gradient on the plane texture.
(b) A mesh-plane with vertex displacement technique
and velocity magnitude to gradient mapping.
Note that the plane is occluding itself.
(c) A cutting plane with bump-mapping technique
where the velocity directions corresponds to the
normal vector of each texel of the plane.
(d) The same cutting plane as used with figure (c)
applied to an artificial stenosis dataset.
Figure 6.5: Comparing different cutting plane visualizations for the same dataset of the
whole human heart of subject number two. The positions of the planes were chosen in
a way to provide a good survey for the characteristics of the different approaches.
