Visual computing : scientific visualization and imaging systems
Leta F., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2015. 254 pp. Type: Book (978-3-642551-30-7)
Date Reviewed: Apr 9 2015

Augmented vision and reality is a quickly growing field that deals with applications based on scientific visualization and imaging systems. Scientific visualization models the visual representation, which makes it easier to understand the scientific data, while the imaging systems encompass the graphical representation of such data.

This volume consists of 13 peer-reviewed research papers from the International Conference on Advanced Computational Engineering and Experimenting that address extensive computing on visualization using digital images. Further, these papers are divided into four parts; “General Concepts Applied in Simulations and Image Analysis,” “Medicine Applications,” “Materials Applications,” and “Related Problems,” covering multidisciplinary areas such as simulation, medical image analysis, metallurgy, digital computing, and others.

The first part of this volume consists of four papers, which focus on simulation applications involved in European projects, game engine systems, the graphic interface for discrete element (GIDE), and image color analysis. The second part includes only two papers that discuss medical applications such as 3D segmentation of computed tomography angiograms and wavelet visualization of pulmonary X-ray images. The third part consists of four papers based on visual computing in material science, with applications like strain measurement in an aluminum foam, parts surface analysis, stress evaluation in vitreous steel sheets, and aluminum foam compression using micro X-ray computed tomography. The fourth part consists of selected papers that focus on solving the problems related to moving robot applications, the melting interface problem with natural conversion, and real-time visualization and geometry reconstruction of large oil and gas boreholes.

The main highlights of this volume are these selected papers from each part: “Important Parameters for Image Color Analysis,” “An Automated System for 3D Segmentation of CT Angiograms,” “Strain Measurement in an Aluminum Foam by Means of Digital Image Correlation,” and “Computer Vision Analysis of a Melting Interface Problem with Natural Convection.” The value of these papers in carrying forward the current research makes this book worth reading.
