A Survey and Classification of Visualisation in Multiscale Biomedical Applications

Abstract

The MSV project aims to survey current best practice in multiscale visualisation and to construct a software toolkit which will make multiscale techniques readily accessible to biomedical researchers and clinicians. In this paper, current methods for multiscale data visualisation in several domains are reviewed, and a novel classification of multiscale techniques for biomedical applications by function is proposed. The classification will form the basis of a design menu and toolkit for multiscale visualisation.
