Title:
- Variational Feature Extraction in Scientific Visualization
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Feature extraction is a common approach to analyze large scientific data sets. At present, many extraction techniques exist in different application domains. Using variational calculus, we phrase common feature definitions in a consistent mathematical language. We apply our framework in fluid dynamics, geophysics, atmospheric sciences, and oceanography.
