This application demonstrates remote
viewing and analysis of particle physics
events. The application is the front end to
an engineered object-oriented global
system that incorporates grid middleware
for authentication and resource discovery, a distributed object database
containing several terabytes of simulated events, and a component that
enables queries issued by the front-end application to be matched to
available computing resources in the system (matchmaking service).

Due to the dense population and rapid economic
development of the Tamshui River, the largest
estuarine system of the island, Taiwan is
studying the river’s hydrodynamic and water quality. Dirty water, air, soil
and mudslides pose a threat to public health, causing deaths and
property losses during the seasons of typhoon and heavy rain. Teleimmersion tools enable researchers to visualize and analyze the
computed results.

This project streams 2D and 3D images from
Argus, a room surrounded with cameras, into
the CAVE using Crumbs volumetric rendering
software. The project explores tradeoffs
between sending 3D data volumes versus lowbandwidth, low-latency stereo pairs. This
demonstration showcases how parallel video
acquisition lends itself to viewing 3D scenes in
different time zones.

Argus consists of 64 optical
cameras imaging a 14-foot diameter,
8-foot tall cylindrical volume. A 32node Beowulf Linux cluster controls
the camera array and performs
image-processing algorithms. Argus
delivers two kinds of data: full 3D
data volumes (128 points per side;
2-8 volumes per second) and stereo
image pairs for any viewpoint in the
cylindrical volume.
