Abstract :
This article proposes a novel approach to automating the settings of visualization parameter values for volume data mining. To this end, we extended the conventional Reeb graph-based approach to topological modeling of 3D surfaces to capture the topological skeleton of a volumetric field. The analyzed results take the form of hyper Reeb graphs which give the basic reference structure for designing comprehensible volume visualization
