Visualization of Measurement Data from Tunnel Fires

Sammanfattning: The work for this thesis has been carried out at SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, in Borås, for the account of the European organisation L-surF, Large Scale Underground Research Facility on Safety and Security, where SP is responsible of the visualization research. The goal with this thesis work is to evaluate different visualization techniques for real-time visualization of measurement data from fire experiments in tunnels. With the evaluation as a starting point a prototype application for visualization of measurement data has been designed and implemented. The developed application can be useful for presentation of results from tunnel fire experiments. The prototype uses different computer graphics techniques to visualize the data in real-time and in an accurate way. The solution was built using OpenSceneGraph with parts of the visualization implemented on the GPU.
