Visualization Quality Assessment

Understanding how inaccuracies in visualizations affect users’ perception and understanding of scientific data is hard. Inaccuracies in visualizations are quite common and could arise from a range of sources such as errors in the original dataset arising from compression artifacts, errors in the capturing device, noise during transmission of the data, effects due to the algorithm being used to convert data to visualization images, images generated from neural networks, and sources we have yet to discover. Many image quality assessment metrics have been developed to quantify image errors. However, these are usually focused on “natural images” rather than visualizations of scientific data. Common image quality assessment metrics (IQAs) include MSE, PSNR, perceptual metrics such SSIM, FSIM as well as perceptual metrics using deep learning approaches. However, a critical part of understanding how errors are perceived by humans, and subsequently developing more accurate quality assessment metrics, is through user evaluation studies. The goal of this software is to develop a visualization quality assessment (VQA) process that will enable the generation of VQAs that can be used to quantify errors in scientific data visualizations. The VQA development process will include software to support user evaluation experimental design, analysis of visualization differences against standard quality metrics, and the ability to develop additional VQA metrics specific to scientific visualization images.

NASA data system standards

The NASA approach to data systems standardization is described. The major thrust of this activity is to assure effective use of NASA resources. The process by which standards are written, who writes them, and what subjects are covered, is briefly examined.

Absolute image registration for geosynchronous satellites

A procedure for the absolute registration of earth images acquired by cameras on geosynchronous satellites is described. A conventional least squares process is used to estimate navigational parameters and camera pointing biases from observed minus computed landmark line and element numbers. These estimated parameters along with orbit and attitude dynamic models are used to register images, employing an automated grey-level correlation technique, inside the span represented by the landmark data. Experimental results obtained from processing the SMS-2 observation data base covering May 2, 1979 through May 20, 1979 show registration accuracies with a standard deviation of less than two pixels if the registration is within the landmark data span. It is also found that accurate registration can be expected for images obtained up to 48 hours outside of the landmark data span.

Proposed circuit, called "neighborhood comparison operator," compares data from neighboring picture elements (pixels) to find peaks, ridges, and valleys in picture data. Circuit also able to expand or shrink pixel regions. Circuit concept developed for image-processing computers. Circuit handles data stream of 12-bit pixels rather than conventional 8 or 16 bits. Consist entirely of standard logic chips.

Assessment of LANDSAT for rangeland mapping, Rush Valley, Utah

The feasibility of using LANDSAT MSS (multispectral scanner) data to identify and map cover types for rangeland, and to determine comparative condition of the ecotypes was assessed. A supporting objective is to assess the utility of various forms of aerial photography in the process. If rangelands can be efficiently mapped with Landsat data, as supported by appropriate aerial photography and field data, then uniform standards of cover classification and condition may be applied across the rangelands of the state. Further, a foundation may be established for long-term monitoring of range trend, using the same satellite system over time.

Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) cleanroom process model

The Software Engineering Laboratory (SEL) cleanroom process model is described. The term 'cleanroom' originates in the integrated circuit (IC) production process, where IC's are assembled in dust free 'clean rooms' to prevent the destructive effects of dust. When applying the clean room methodology to the development of software systems, the primary focus is on software defect prevention rather than defect removal. The model is based on data and analysis from previous cleanroom efforts within the SEL and is tailored to serve as a guideline in applying the methodology to future production software efforts. The phases that are part of the process model life cycle from the delivery of requirements to the start of acceptance testing are described. For each defined phase, a set of specific activities is discussed, and the appropriate data flow is described. Pertinent managerial issues, key similarities and differences between the SEL's cleanroom process model and the standard development approach used on SEL projects, and significant lessons learned from prior cleanroom projects are presented. It is intended that the process model described here will be further tailored as additional SEL cleanroom projects are analyzed.

Parallel PAB3D: Experiences with a Prototype in MPI

PAB3D is a three-dimensional Navier Stokes solver that has gained acceptance in the research and industrial communities. It takes as computational domain, a set disjoint blocks covering the physical domain. This is the first report on the implementation of PAB3D using the Message Passing Interface (MPI), a standard for parallel processing. We discuss briefly the characteristics of tile code and define a prototype for testing. The principal data structure used for communication is derived from preprocessing "patching". We describe a simple interface (COMMSYS) for MPI communication, and some general techniques likely to be encountered when working on problems of this nature. Last, we identify levels of improvement from the current version and outline future work.
