Visualization Ecology Applications for Measurement Science: A Visualization Gap Approach

June 13, 2022
Author(s)
Simon Su, William Sherman, Steven G. Satterfield, Terence J. Griffin, William L. George, Sandy Ressler, Shaw C. Feng, Judith E. Terrill
Advanced visualization research have remained insufficiently included in science and engineering workflows due to the highly specialized task-specific requirements and lack of suitable applications. Although the field of visualization is maturing and

Web Based 3D Visualization and Interaction for Whole Body Laser Scans

November 20, 2013
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
A web based system that allows the user to select, sort, and measure 3D bodies using displays inside of ordinary web browsers without the use of 3D plug-ins is presented. Our system, AnthroWeb3DMeasure (AW3DM), allows the user to visually explore a set of

Combining Genetic Algorithms & Simulation to Search for Failure Scenarios in System Models

October 28, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin L. Mills, Christopher E. Dabrowski, James J. Filliben, Sanford P. Ressler
Large infrastructures, such as clouds, can exhibit substantial outages, sometimes due to failure scenarios that were not considered during system design. We define a method that uses a genetic algorithm (GA) to search system simulations for parameter

Declarative Integration of Interactive 3D Graphics into the World-Wide Web: Principles, Current Approaches, and Research Agenda

February 10, 2013
Author(s)
Jacek Jankowski, Johannes Behr, Yvonne Jung, Kristian Sons, Philipp Slusallek, Sanford P. Ressler
With the advent of WebGL, plugin-free hardware-accelerated interactive 3D graphics has finally arrived in all major Web browsers. WebGL is an imperative solution that is tied to the functionality of rasterization APIs. Consequently, its usage requires a

Not Your Mother's Web3D: Integrating X3DOM, jQuery and HTML5

August 4, 2012
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This tutorial, for intermediate users, is suitable for educators, scientists and artists, with some 3D and programming experience, (all attendees). The benefits of declarative 3D markup, as realized by X3DOM will be emphasized in the context of integration

Integrating jQuery with the 3D Descriptive Markup of X3DOM

October 31, 2011
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This paper describes a number of techniques using jQuery to take advantage of the 3D descriptive markup implemented by X3DOM. X3DOM is a project of the Web3D Consortium, primarily being implemented by staff at Fraunhoffer IGD to provide 3D descriptive

Shape and Size Analysis and Standards

October 6, 2008
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Sanford P. Ressler
The field of anthropometry is the science of measurement of the human body from which comparisons and characterizations of the size and shape of the body in different postures can take place. The size and shape of human bodies are important in many
