Topological Data Analysis with TTK Training

Objectives

1. Initiation to topological methods for data analysis and visualization
2. Discover their main concepts and typical applications
3. Apply these concepts with TTK and ParaView on concrete use cases in fluid dynamics, image processing, quantum chemistry, bioimaging, …

Prerequisites

•  ParaView basics

Program

• Concepts (morning)
  • Introduction to Topological Data Analysis (TDA) with TTK
  • Introduction to the ParaView ecosystem for TDA
•  Application and exercises (afternoon)
  • Extracting salient points with Persistence diagrams – Application to vortex extraction
  • Salient components with Merge trees – Application to medical data segmentation)
  • Filaments and basins with Morse-Smale complex – Applications to image segmentation, molecular structure extraction, surface reconstruction, data clustering)
  • Tracking critical point in the context of temporal data – Application to vortex tracking
