Content
The focus of this introductory course is on discussing efficient techniques to visually represent large-scale data sets from simulation and measurement. Data generation will be addressed as well as the visualization pipeline, data structures, mapping techniques and special rendering techniques for scientific data. Various examples will be given to outline the benefits of visualization techniques in practical applications. This course is regularly held in the winter term.

- Basics (visualization pipeline, data structures, data types)
- A key application to generate visualization data - flow simulation
- Geometry (triangulation, optimization)
