Universal Scene Description (USD) is the core of Pixar Animation Studios graphics and rendering pipeline. Released as open source in 2016, USD provides for the interchange of elemental assets (e.g. models), but additionally enables assembly and organization of any number of assets into higher level concepts, such as scenes or shots. These assets can be non-destructively edited or modified through layering that can then be transmitted between applications. Exporting scientific simulations through the USD API allows access to a wide range of tools for creating cinematic visualizations or for viewing scientific simulations in an augmented/virtual reality environment.

Scientific simulations executed on supercomputers produce massive amounts of data. Visualizing this data is essential to discovery and dissemination, but methods for transforming and displaying such largedatavisualizations for use in Extended Reality (XR) devices are not commonly supported. We investigated the viability of existing XR applications (i.e., ParaView VR, SummitVR, and Omniverse XR) to display largedatavisualizations. Our investigations led us to create a proof-of-concept Virtual Reality (VR) application with Unity using Universal Scene Description (USD) files exported from Houdini to display and interact with large time-varying scientific datavisualizations. We present our investigations as a basis for future work to display and interact with scientific datavisualizations in XR.

Recent work shows that sampling algorithms can be an effective tool for graph visualization. This paper extends prior work by applying edge sampling algorithms to speed up the spring force calculation in force-directed graph layout algorithms. An experiment on 72 graphs finds that some sampling algorithms achieve comparable quality as no sampling. This result is confirmed with visualizations of the graph layout results. However, runtime improvements are small, especially for graphs with 10,000 vertices or fewer, indicating that the runtime savings might not be worth the risk to layout quality. Therefore, this paper suggests that accurate spring forces may be more important to force-directed graph layout algorithms than accurate electric forces.

Environment analysis is a critical part of autonomous vehicle for transport applications and for passenger safety. The solutions demonstrating the greatest robustness have been integrating multiple sensors used for redundancy and refinement purposes. Vision applications have proven to offer a high degree of flexibility and performance. One particular instance of this is higlighted in vehicle localisation, which predominantly relies on GNSS-based systems for positioning calculation using propagation time measurements. However, this signal may be degraded through the environment around the vehicle, worst case being urban canyons leading to Non Line Of Sight(NLOS) scenarios or multipaths issues due to reflecting obstacles. Previous work have shown vision-based algorithms can be used to mitigate these effects. One widely studied approach relies on the segmentation of an acquired wide-angle image installed on the roof of the vehicle and oriented toward the *** the sky processing module is binary, the pipeline lack any way to express its uncertainty when applying weighting policies to the detected satellite state, which can be detrimental to the resulting positioning. In this paper, we propose a novel way of analysing wide-angle camera images, also known as fisheye images, dividing the image into patches to output the corresponding situation of each region of interest. Additionally we propose a new class to the previous sky versus non-sky segmentation, designated as mixed class and designed to serve as a fuzzy answer by the deep learning model to improve confidence to other scenarios as well as allow for new analysis policies of satellites signals. The data-driven algorithm is designed and tested on a publicly available dataset, composed of a large number of finely labelled images provided by ISAE-SUPAERO reaching a 94% accuracy.

With dental imaging data acquired at unprecedented speed and resolution, traditional serial image processing and single-node storage need to be re-examined in a "Bigdata" context. Furthermore, most previous dental computing has focused on the actual imaging acquisition and image analysis tools, while much less research has focused on enabling caries assessment via visual analysis of large dental imaging data. In this paper we present DENVIS, an end-to-end solution for cariologists to manage, mine, visualize, and analyze large dental imaging data for investigative carious lesion studies. DENVIS consists of two main parts: data driven image analysis modules triggered by imaging data acquisition that exploit parallel MapReduce tasks and ingest visualization archive into a distributed NoSQL store, and user driven modules that allow investigative analysis at run time. DENVIS has seen early use by our collaborators in oral health research, where our system has been used to pose and answer domain-specific questions for quantitative assessment of dynamic carious lesion activities.

In this project we explore several different techniques for visualizing data created by Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) cosmology simulations. We present four methods that have thus far been explored. Mainly, we discuss visualizing data through ParaView, vl3, SPH interpolation, and virtual reality environments. We display our preliminary results, as well as our plans to begin applying our techniques to large scale data sets.

We study effective shared-memory, data-parallel techniques for searching for duplicate elements. We consider several data-parallel approaches, and how hash function, machine architecture, and data set can affect performance. We conclude that most choices of algorithm and hash function are problematic for general usage. However, we demonstrate that the choice of the Hash-Fight algorithm with the FNV1a hash function has consistently good performance over all configurations.

We present a novel methodology for clustering and visualizing large-scale tractography data sets. Tractography data sets contain hundreds of millions of line segments, making visualizing and understanding this data very difficult. Our method reduces and simplifies this data to create coherent groupings and visualizations. Our input is a collection of tracts, from which we derive metrics and perform clustering. Using the clustered data, we create a three-dimensional histogram that contains the counts of the number of tracts that intersect each bin. With these new data sets, we can perform standard visualization techniques. Our contribution is the visualization pipeline itself, as well as a study and evaluation schema. Our study utilizes our evaluation schema to identify the best and most influential clustering metrics, and an optimal number of clusters under varying user requirements.

In order to guarantee the performances of complex systems, the CEA is driving large numerical simulations in various fields such as thermomechanics, electromagnetism and aerodynamics. Due to the size of the problems and the use of High Performance Computing approaches, large and complex datasets need to be explored to understand the physical phenomena. This paper focuses on the exploration of a compressible turbulent 2D flow, to better understand the flight behavior of an object. Topological dataanalysis (TDA) is used to improve understanding and avoid costly traditional methods such as 3D modal decomposition algorithms or highly technical hydrodynamic stability codes. The attention is put on the large eddies shed behind a cylinder hit by a crossflow. Thanks to TDA the tracking of the eddies, the identification of their origin and the evolution of their amplitude with the downstream distance are facilitated.

We present some preliminary work toward bi-directional in situ visualization and analysis of blood flow considering blood cell suspensions and dynamic moving walls to mimic the clot growth process. The work is implemented through integrating multiple open source packages including fluid flow solver, blood cells, and in situ visualization and analysis. It shows that in situ visualization enables us to examine and process the simulation results without writing data to files. In addition, preliminary results on bidirectional steering (still in progress) can accelerate engineers to explore the complicated stress environment experienced by clots of different sizes.
