Scientific Visualization

Scientific Visualization

Scientific visualization refers to the process of representing raw, scientific data as images, providing an external aid to improve scientists’ interpretations of large data sets and to gain insights that may be overlooked by statistical methods alone.

Displaying complex data in visual form provides a clear and intuitive approach to processing big data analytics and enhances understanding, exploration, and decision-making with the use of familiar, visual metaphors. Scientific data visualization, categorized as either 2D or 3D scientific visualization, uses techniques from a variety of fields, including image processing, computer animation, computer vision, signal processing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and computer-aided design.
