Work has already been done on the research that I will be doing the is summer. Currently there is post image processing done on the data dumped from the simulation. There is also a small amount of runtime simulation done in a 2D environment.
Identified Need
Data from the ice sheet modelling simulation needs to be analyzed visually. In the current system there is a very simplistic and very slow visualization of the data with little to no real-time visualization. Also in place is a post processing visualization that takes days to compute. The current simulation is also in 2D where as the intended outcome is 3D. The research aims to construct a 3D real-time visualization of the data as it is being created. The reason is to be
Objectives and Scope
- The first goal will be to learn and understand the current 2D visualization that is in place.
- Next will be to become familiar with OpenGL as this will be what I will be first trying to use to improve the current 2D rendering.
- Become familiar with doing 3D in OpenGL in order to make a 3D topography of the earth (possibly using Google Earth)
- Use the 3D topography to render the Ice Sheet data on top of.
