Exploration Of Uncertainty In Bidirectional Vector Fields

While their importance is increasingly recognized, there remain many challenges in the development of uncertainty visualizations. We introduce two uncertainty visualizations for 2D bidirectional vector fields: one based on a static glyph and the other based on animated flow. These visualizations were designed for the task of understanding and interpreting anisotropic rock property models in the domain of seismic data processing. Aspects of the implementations are discussed relating to design, interaction, and tasks.
