Visualization in Astronomy

headed by Prof. Dr. Jos B.T.M. Roerdink

In astronomy, modern surveys provide not only image data but also catalogues of millions of objects, each object with hundreds of associated parameters. To explore these data sets effectively, new and scalable tools are developed that can cope with the sheer data volume which has entered the tens of terabytes regime. In this research the focus is on feature extraction and interactive visualization techniques for high-dimensional parameter spaces.
