Of these feature-extraction methods, topological ones stand out due to their solid mathematical foundation. Topologically defined structures--as found in scalar, vector and tensor fields--have proven their merit in a wide range of scientific domains, and scientists have found them to be revealing in subjects such as physics, engineering, and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull of state-of-the-art research and contemporary hot topics in the subject, this volume is a selection of peer-reviewed papers originally presented at the fourth Workshop on Topology-Based Methods in Data Analysis and Visualization, TopoInVis 2011, held in Zurich, Switzerland. The workshop brought together many of the leading lights in the field for a mixture of formal presentations and discussion. One topic currently generating a great deal of interest, and explored in several chapters here, is the search for topological structures in time-dependent flows, and their relationship with Lagrangian coherent structures. Contributors also focus on discrete topologies of scalar and vector fields, and on persistence-based simplification, among other issues of note. The new research results included in this volume relate to all three key areas in data analysis--theory, algorithms and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277358063767,"sku":"9783662519066","price":10174.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783662519066.webp?v=1769288151","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/topological-methods-in-data-analysis-and-visualization-ii-theory-algorithms-and-applications-9783662519066","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
