De la contraportada

Matrix-valued data sets - so-called second order tensor fields -
have gained significant importance in scientific visualization and
image processing due to recent developments such as diffusion tensor
imaging. This book is the first edited volume that presents the
state-of-the-art in the visualization and processing of tensor fields.
It contains some longer chapters dedicated to surveys and tutorials of
specific topics, as well as a great deal of original work by leading
experts that has not been published before. It serves as an overview
for the inquiring scientist, as a basic foundation for developers and
practitioners, and as as a textbook for specialized classes and seminars
for graduate and doctoral students.
