Synopsis:

ThisbookattemptstocapturesomeoftheexcitementofaninspiringDagstuhl SeminarinJanuary2007. Theauthorsreportonrecentresearchresultsaswell as opining on future directions for the analysis and visualization of tensor ?elds. Topics range from applications of the analysis of tensor ?elds to purer researchintotheirmathematical andanalytical properties. Oneofthegoalsof thisseminarwastobringtogetherresearchersfromalongthatpure-to-applied disciplinary axis with the hope of fostering new collaborations and research. This book, we hope, will continue to further that goal in a broader context. Providence, Rhode Island, USA David H.

From the Back Cover: Matrix-valued data sets - so-called second order tensor fields -
have gained significant importance in scientific visualization and
image processing due to recent developments such as diffusion tensor
imaging. This book is the first edited volume that presents the
state-of-the-art in the visualization and processing of tensor fields.
It contains some longer chapters dedicated to surveys and tutorials of
specific topics, as well as a great deal of original work by leading
experts that has not been published before. It serves as an overview
for the inquiring scientist, as a basic foundation for developers and
practitioners, and as as a textbook for specialized classes and seminars
for graduate and doctoral students.
