Rendering and Visualization

In Rendering, algorithms are examined to synthesize images from given virtual 3D-objects or worlds. Rendering methods can be focused on the generation of realistic images (photo-realistic rendering) or the fast synthesis of the images, resulting in fluent movement (real-time rendering). In Visualization, the goal is to render images that are realistic, but that gain insight to all types of data, from measured data (e.g., medical CT scans), simulated data (flow simulation data), or non-spatial, abstract data such as the spread of news in twitter.
