Visualization and Processing of Tensor Fields

"This timely Springer monograph collects a total of 25 survey and research articles on the analysis, processing, and visualization of tensor fields, an area with increasing impact and visibility in contemporary imaging and medical image analysis.

Compared with many existing volumes of similar styles or missions, this collection has been carefully edited to yield a smooth and continuous flow of topics and techniques. The categorization into five self-contained parts has been enormously helpful for a generic reader to attain an organic view of the entire dynamic field.

This volume will be an invaluable research tool or information source for all readers who are interested in tensor processing and visualization, including, e.g., image processing experts, graphic and visualization engineers, medical imaging scientists, and radiologists, as well as graduate students who are pursuing a degree in the related research subjects."  (Jianhong Shen, Mathematical Reviews)
