TensorPattern
Local inspection of data values by iconic methods can incorporate the
full tensor information. Choosing ellipsoids as representations of the tensor field
is a bad choice since they suffer severely under problems of view occlusion (visual clutter),
visual ambiguity and are insufficient to clearly depict small variations
of the tensor field. Many alternatives have been developed. Our favorite
model are so-called tensor patterns, which is a method to employ Gabor
patches to represent the tensor field. This approach is supported by
considerations borrowed from vision research and perception theory.
