visu·al·ize visualizes visualizing visualized in BRIT, also use visualise If you visualize something, you imagine what it is like by forming a mental picture of it. Susan visualized her wedding day and saw herself walking down the aisle on her father's arm He could not visualize her as old She visualized him stomping to his car, the picture of self-righteousness It was hard to visualize how it could have been done. = imagine + visualization visualizations visu·ali·za·tion a perfect visualization of reality. to form a picture of someone or something in your mind = imagine
{f} picture, envisage, conjure up, imagine; make image of internal organs by means of x-rays (also visualise)
for a mental picture of something that is invisible or abstract; "Mathematicians often visualize"
make visible; "With this machine, ultrasound can be visualized" imagine; conceive of; see in one's mind; "I can't see him on horseback!"; "I can see what will happen"; "I can see a risk in this strategy" for a mental picture of something that is invisible or abstract; "Mathematicians often visualize" view the outline of by means of an X-ray; "The radiologist can visualize the cancerous liver
In general, the notion "visualization" refers to the process of mapping (non-visual) data to a suitable graphical representation that simplifies the data interepretation by the user
Complex analysis tool that presents CFD data as an image The image can exhibit surface pressure contours This example shows fluid flow around complex geometries, using the Nordic ski jumper as the model
The ability to use the "mind's eye" to visually conceptualize and manipulate thoughts and ideas Frequently referred to as mental imagery it is recognized as a major component in memory and creativity It is probably the most important of all the visual skills for achievement, performance, and survival in our culture because it is so closely related to reading, reading comprehension, spelling, writing and the skills of symbolic performance Children with poor visualization skills are often poor goal setters and have a poor self image
In the broadest sense, visualization is the art or science of transforming information to a form "comprehensible" by the sense of sight Visualization is broadly associated with graphical display in the form of pictures (printed or photo), workstation displays, or video
Refers to the ability to perceive visual-spatial images with eyes closed or in another state where the actual visual stimuli present are not those perceived For individuals with deficits in attentional states, visualization is frequently an efficacious means of stabilizing the visual environment and responding to it This technique removes the interference of non-relevant visual stimuli, and the system is able to respond with differentiation and purpose
Also known as "guided imagery," visualiza-tion basically refers to "mind over matter " It involves the attempt to bring about change in the material realm by the power of the mind
(n ) In large applications where the data set is very large, the problem of presenting the data can also be a numerically intensive task Moreover, some of the well known visualization techniques, such as ray-tracing and volume rendering, are naturally amenable to modern parallel architectures Specific instances include: visualization Also, the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has a Scientific Visualization team engaged in exploiting high performance computing technology to meet visualization demands from within the ARL Some of the applications include computational fluid dynamics, penetration mechanics, battlefield troop movement and artificial terrain generation, and explosive effects simulations
Visualization tools graphically display data to facilitate better understanding of its meaning Graphical capabilities range from simple scatter plots to complex multi-dimensional representations
Ability to recall a previously viewed image or object and mentally manipulate the image from various aspects Example: Seeing a flattened box and being able to mentally reconstruct it and picture its' dimensions to decide if the object you want to put in the box will fit
1 Forming clear mental images often used in magick to focus and direct energy to a visualized goal 2 Imagining a scene, a person, or an object with intense clarity This is often done through a meditation with a written "visualization journey" which allows the practitioner to enter an imagined place to make personal discoveries
A method of photographing advocated by Ansel Adams Adams believed that the image must first be created in the mind's eye and that the photographer should know exactly what the picture will look like before he ever shoots the picture
Any procedure that visually presents numerical data, but particularly a graphical one Visualization may be used to describe any visual data display, from a simple graph of one dependent variable against one independent variable to a "virtual reality" program that allows a user to fly around a representation of data
An external representation that makes it easy to see certain patterns in data In the context of information systems, a visualizer is typically a computer program that presents data according to a particular pataern
seen in the mind as a mental image; "the glory of his envisioned future"; "the snow-covered Alps pictured in her imagination"; "the visualized scene lacked the ugly details of real life"
