Interactive High-Quality Visualization of Large-Scale Particle Data Mohamed Ibrahim, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Computer Science Nov 5, 14:00 - 15:00 B2 L5 R5209 visualization high-quality rendering large-scale simulation particle data aliasing artifact sampling visible particles Large-scale particle data sets, such as those computed in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, are crucial to investigating important processes in physics and thermodynamics. The simulated atoms are usually visualized as hard spheres with Phong shading, where individual particles and their local density can be perceived well in close-up views. However, for large-scale simulations with 10 million particles or more, the visualization of large fields-of-view usually suffers from strong aliasing artifacts, because the mismatch between data size and output resolution leads to severe under-sampling of the geometry.
