An Exploration of How Volume Rendering is Impacted by Lossy Data Reduction
DescriptionData reduction is now frequently used by simulations to reduce the amount of data that needs to be stored. Consequently, several error-bound lossy data reduction techniques have been developed to help compress scientific datasets while trying to maximize quality. However, their impact on visualization has hardly been studied and is not very well understood. In this paper, we do an in-depth analysis of the impact of lossy data reduction on volume rendering to try to determine which parameters, such as characteristics of datasets, opacity, color affect the perception quality of lossy data reduction.
