Visualisation and Processing of Tensor Fields provides researchers an inspirational look at how to process and visualize complicated 2D and 3D images known as tensor fields. Tensor fields are the natural representation for many physical quantities; they can describe how water moves around in the brain, how gravity varies around the earth, or how materials are stressed and deformed. With its numerous color figures, this book helps the reader understand both the underlying mathematics and the applications of tensor fields. The reader also will learn about the most recent research topics and open research questions.
