Detailed Description

Given a 3D domain space represented by an unstructured grid composed of tetrahedral cells with bivariate fields, this filter tessellates each cell in the domain to polyhedral fragments by intersecting the projection of the cell into 2-D range space against two sets of cutting planes, one set is defined along the first field, the second set is defined along the second field.

The volume of these subdivided polyhedral fragments can be computed and aggregated over cells to depict the density distribution of the data projection in the bivariate range space.

Introduction

Given a bivariate field (f1,f2) defined on an unstructured grid which is composed of tetrahedral cells, we can initially subdivide each cell based on its projection in the range into a number of fragments along the first field f1, we refer to these polyhedral fragments as Frag(f1) = {frag(f1)_1, frag(f1)_2, ... , frag(f1)_n}, where frag(f1)_n refers to the nth fragment along the first field subdivision. Each fragment has a range value and the value difference between the neighbouring fragments is represented as fragment width fw_f1, which is uniformly distributed across the range. Based on the structure of Frag(f1), for each of its cell "frag(f1)_n", we can further subdivide this cell based on the second field f2 using fragment width fw_f2. The tessellation along the second field results in an even finer fragment collection which we refer to as Frag(f1,f2) = {frag(f1,f2)_1, frag(f1,f2)_2, ... , frag(f1,f2)_m}. We can observe that Frag(f1,f2) is a finer tessellation of the domain than Frag(f1) and will be used to compute the density distribution in the bivariate range space. The algorithm for fragment computation is similar to the first stage of the work in [0]. Each fragment "s" in Frag(f1,f2) has range values (f1(s), f2(s)) in the bivariate fields. These values can be further mapped to a 2-D bin with a resolution rexX * resY. The mapped bin index (binIndexX, binIndexY) of the fragment can be computed by linear interpolation on its range values : binIndexX = (int) resX * (f1(s) - f1_min) / (f1_max - f1_min) binIndexY = (int) resY * (f2(s) - f2_min) / (f2_max - f2_min), where (f1_min, f1_max) is the range in first field. Once we know which bin a fragment coincides, the density value in each bin equals to the total geometric volume of the fragments in this bin. This volume distribution over the bins will be exported as a point data array in the output data structure. If we map this 2-D bin to a 2-D image with each bin corresponding to a pixel and bin density to pixel transparency, then the image can be displayed as a continuous scatterplot.

Algorithm

The algorithm of this filter can be described as: Require: R.1 The domain space is an unstructured grid data set composed of tetrahedral cells; R.2 The range space contains two scalar fields, say f1 and f2.

The most important step is to compute the fragments. The implementation processes the input grid one cell at a time, explicitly computing the intersection of the cell with the cutting planes defined by the fragment boundaries in each scalar field. In order to subdivide the cell, we need to define a list of cutting planes in each field. The interval between neighbouring cutting planes is related to the output 2-D bin resolution (resX, resY) and can be computed as : fw_f1 = (f1_max - f1_min) / resX fw_f2 = (f2_max - f2_min) / resY, where (f1_max,f1_min) is the scalar range of first field.

1. For each tetrahedron T in the input grid:

   1.1 Subdivide the cell T based on the first field f1, we will obtain a list of fragments: Frag(f1) = {frag(f1)_1, frag(f1)_2, ... , frag(f1)_n}. The steps for subdivision can be described as:

   1.1.1 For each cutting plane s with respect to the first field f1, its field value f1(s) = f1_min + n * fw_f1, where n refers to the n-th cutting plane:

   1.1.2. Traverse each edge e starting from point a to b in the cell, we will maintain three data classes, namely fragmentFace, residualFace and cutSet: A. fragmentFace contains vertices in the current fragment. B. cutSet contains vertices whose range values equal to f1(s). This set contains the current cutting plane. C. residualFace contains the rest of the vertices in the cell. In order to classify edge vertices into these classes, the following case table is used for each vertex "a" : case 0 : f1(a)---— f1(s) ---—f1(b) condition: f1(a) < f1(s) , f1(b) > f1(s) class: p(s,e), a -> fragmentFace p(s,e) -> cutSet p(s,e) -> residualFace

   case 1 : f1(b)---— f1(s) ---—f1(a) condition: f1(a) > f1(s) , f1(b) < f1(s) class: p(s,e) -> fragmentFace p(s,e) -> cutSet a -> residualFace

   case 2 : f1(s),f1(a)----------------—f1(b) condition: f1(s) == f1(a), f1(s) <= f1(b) class: a -> fragmentFace a -> residualFace a -> cutSet

   case 3 : f1(a)----------------—f1(b), f1(s) condition: f1(s) > f1(a), f1(s) == f1(b) class: a -> fragmentFace

   case 4 : f1(s),f1(b)----------------—f1(a) condition: f1(s) < f1(a), f1(s) == f1(b) class: a -> residualFace Remark: 1. we use "->" to indicate "belongs to" relation.

   1. p(s,e) refers to the interpolated point of range value f1(s) on the edge e.

   1.1.3. After we have traversed every edge in a cell for the cutting plane s, three classes for storing fragment, cutting plane and residual faces are updated. The faces of the current fragment frag(f1) are the union of all elements in fragmentFace and cutSet.

1.2 Take the output of step 1.1, traverse each fragment in Frag(f1), define a list of cutting planes with respect to field f2, further subdivide the fragments in Frag(f1) following steps from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. The output of this step will be the fragment collection Frag(f1,f2). Each fragment in Frag(f1,f2) can be further mapped to a 2-D bin based on its range values. The density value in each bin equals to the total geometric volume of the fragments in this bin. This volume distribution over the bins will be exported as a point data array in the output data structure.

VTK Filter Design

The input and output ports of the filter: Input port : the input data set should be a vtkUnstructuredGrid, with each of its cell defined as a tetrahedron. At least two scalar fields are associated with the data. The user needs to specify the name of the two scalar arrays beforehand. Output port: the output data set is a 2D image stored as a vtkImageData. The resolution of the output image can be set by the user. The volume distribution of fragments in each pixel or bin is stored in an point data array named "volume" in the output vtkImageData.

How To Use This Filter

Suppose we have a tetrahedral mesh stored in a vtkUnstructuredGrid, we call this data set "inputData". This data set has two scalar arrays whose names are "f1" and "f2" respectively. We would like the resolution of output image set to (resX,resY). Given these input, this filter can be called as follows in c++ sample code:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkContinuousScatterplot> csp =
                       vtkSmartPointer<vtkContinuousScatterplot>::New();
csp->SetInputData(inputData);
csp->SetField1("f1",resX);
csp->SetField2("f2",resY);
csp->Update();

Then the output, "csp->GetOutput()", will be a vtkImageData containing a scalar array whose name is "volume". This array contains the volume distribution of the fragments.
