About this Item

Neuware -Visualisation and Processing of Tensor Fields provides researchers an inspirational look at how to process and visualize complicated 2D and 3D images known as tensor fields. Tensor fields are the natural representation for many physical quantities; they can describe how water moves around in the brain, how gravity varies arount the earth, or how materials are stressed and deformed. With its numerous color figures, this book helps the reader understand both the underlying mathematics and the applications of tensor fields.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 396 pp. Englisch.

Synopsis:

Visualisation and Processing of Tensor Fields provides researchers an inspirational look at how to process and visualize complicated 2D and 3D images known as tensor fields. Tensor fields are the natural representation for many physical quantities; they can describe how water moves around in the brain, how gravity varies arount the earth, or how materials are stressed and deformed. With its numerous color figures, this book helps the reader understand both the underlying mathematics and the applications of tensor fields.

Review:

"This timely Springer monograph collects a total of 25 survey and research articles on the analysis, processing, and visualization of tensor fields, an area with increasing impact and visibility in contemporary imaging and medical image analysis.

Compared with many existing volumes of similar styles or missions, this collection has been carefully edited to yield a smooth and continuous flow of topics and techniques. The categorization into five self-contained parts has been enormously helpful for a generic reader to attain an organic view of the entire dynamic field.

This volume will be an invaluable research tool or information source for all readers who are interested in tensor processing and visualization, including, e.g., image processing experts, graphic and visualization engineers, medical imaging scientists, and radiologists, as well as graduate students who are pursuing a degree in the related research subjects."  (Jianhong Shen, Mathematical Reviews)
