VAPOR Technical Approach
¥Key components
1. Multiresolution data representation, enables interactive access:
¥Entire dataset available at lowered resolution
¥Regions of interest available at full resolution
2.Prioritize ease-of-use for scientific research
3.Integrate visualization and analysis, interactively steering analysis while reducing data handling
4.Exploit power of GPU
Combination of visualization with multiresolution data representation enables interactive discovery
