3D Visualization of Planetary Nebula

Planetary nebula can be observed using a telescope; however, due to their immense distance from us, this is only possible from one single perspective. Three-dimensional models are required to enable a spatial visualization. In this lecture, we will discuss computer graphic procedures that could be used to develop such models from single images and how these models could then be efficiently presented.

The speaker

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Daniel Weiskopf is one of two directors at the University of Stuttgart’s Institute of Visualization. His particular fields of research are graph visualization, visual analytics for life sciences, and video data, as well as relativistic visualization.
