Displaying isosurface is one of the most popular methods to visualize 3D scalar fields. When extracting isosurfaces, the traditional method such as Marching Cubes requires to scan the entire data set, which can be problematic when the underlying data set is large. To speed up the computation, researchers in the Gravite Research Group has developed several algorithms that can effectively minimize both the computation and the storage cost. We also developed methods that can be utilized in parallel and distributed environments.
