DD2257 Visualization 7.5 credits
Visualisering
The focus of this course is on discussing efficient techniques to visually represent large-scale data sets from simulation and measurement. We will discuss the visualization pipeline, data structures, mapping techniques and special rendering techniques for data from different application domains such as fluid dynamics, climate research, medicine or biology. Various examples will be given to outline the benefits of visualization techniques in practical applications.

Grading scale *
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination *
- LAB1 - Laboratory Assignments, 3.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F
- TEN1 - Examination, 4.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
In agreement with KTH´s coordinator for disabilities, it is the examiner who decides to adapt an examination for students in possession of a valid medical certificate.. The examiner may permit other examination formats at the re-examination of individual students.

Ethical approach *
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
