The method we use to comprehend three-dimensional scenes is quite complex, since each eye is This difficulty isīest understood in imagining the plights of two-space creatures who try to comprehend our That there are no solid paradigms for three-space creatures such as ourselves. The tremendous difficulty of visualizing true four-space data lies in the fact Viewpoints and viewing parameters, and light (or depthcue) the rendered objects from four-space. Both of these methods employ true four-dimensional This paper approaches the problem of displaying 4D objects as physical models through two mainĪpproaches: wireframe methods and raytracing. On true four-dimensional data, where the data do not represent a three-dimensional scalar field. are good examples), there are few methods that are effective While there exist a number of methods to approach the visualization of three-dimensional scalar Temperature distribution throughout a mechanical object. Such as tissue density in a region of a human body, pressure values in a volume of air, or This assignment is quite apt for a variety of four-dimensional data, The display of four-dimensional data is usually accomplished by assigning threeĭimensions to location in three-space, and the remaining dimension to some scalar property at each List of Figures 3.1 The 3D Viewing Vectors and From, To Pointsģ.3 The 3D Viewing Vectors and Viewing Frustumģ.4 The 4D Viewing Vectors and Viewing FrustumĤ.2 3D Perspective Projection in Eye CoordinatesĤ.4 4D Perspective Projection in Eye CoordinatesĤ.5 The 4-Cube with Various 4D and 3D ProjectionsĤ.6 Another View of The 4-Cube with Various 4D and 3D ProjectionsĤ.8 The 4-Cube With All Edges Rendered in One ColorĤ.9 The Dual of The 4-Cube With All Edges Rendered in One ColorĤ.10 The 4-Cube Rendered With Multiple Edge ColorsĤ.11 The Dual of The 4-Cube Rendered With Multiple Edge ColorsĤ.12 The 4-Cube Rendered With Depth-CueingĤ.13 The Dual of The 4-Cube Rendered With Depth-CueingĤ.15 A 4D Curve on a 4-Sphere with Poor Parameterizationĥ.4 Sliced 4D Image Cube of Random 4-Sphere Distributionĥ.5 Sliced Image of 16 4-Spheres Placed at 4-Cube Verticesĥ.6 Sliced Image of 16 4-Tetrahedrons Placed at 4-Cube Vertices Of the raytrace data that aided my understanding of the process and nature of four-dimensionalįinally, I would like to thank my family for their patience, confidence, enthusiasm and financial Thanks are also due to Kevin Price for letting me use his Amiga and helping me produce animations Offering their observations and suggestions. Gerald Farin for being on my thesis committee and I would also like toĪcknowledge and thank Dr. Guidance in the topic of this research, he has also been unfailing in helping me get the resourcesĪnd information I needed to complete both this research and this paper.
Of this thesis, I would like to thank my committee chairman, Dr. In appreciation of the time, effort and patience extended to me in the pursuit TheĤD raytracer also supports true four-dimensional lighting, reflections and refractions. Three-dimensional field of RGB values, which can be rendered with a variety of existing methods. Solves the hidden surface and shadowing problems of 4D objects, and yields an image in the form of a Methods employ true four-space viewing parameters and geometry. Research covers the visualization of four dimensional objects through wireframe methods withĮxtended visualization cues, and through raytracing methods. Have typically been visualized via wireframe methods, but this process alone is usually insufficientįor an intuitive understanding all but the most simple datasets easily overwhelm the viewer. Visualizing data that correspond to actual four-dimensional structures. While this paradigm applies to many different data sets, there are also uses for In the field of scientific visualization, the term “fourĭimensional visualization” usually refers to the process of rendering a three dimensional field
