This module will enable students to gain practical skills, using industry standard hardware and software, to develop reconstructions suitable for disciplines such as medicine, forensics, astronomy, archaeology, geology and climatology.
The technologies involved in the tools for acquisition of spatial and scientific data will be reviewed and their influence on visualisation discussed.
Students will develop their skills in the use of one such tool and apply these to a particular scenario. In the process, students will study the various algorithms, data representations and mappings that can be deployed to create such visualisations.
During the module, emphasis will be placed upon practical programming techniques and understanding of the mathematics used.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to
Student achievement will be measured by an In-Course Assessment. This will require the student to analyse, filter and process the data provided, using standard toolkits, to obtain meaningful visualisations according to specified requirements.
C++ Programming 2 and Graphical Mathematics are pre-requisites for this module.
