Abstract [en]
We describe a benchmark data generator for tracking methods for two- and three-dimensional time-dependent scalar fields. More and more topology-based tracking methods are presented in the visualization community, but the validation and evaluation of the tracking results are currently limited to qualitative visual approaches. We present a pipeline for creating different ground truth features that support evaluating tracking methods based on quantitative measures. In short, our approach randomly simulates a temporal point cloud with birth, death, split, merge, and continuation events, where the points are then used to derive a scalar field whose topological features correspond to the points. These scalar fields can be used as the input for different tracking methods, where the computed tracks can be compared against the ground truth feature evolution. This approach facilitates directly comparing the results of different tracking methods, independent of the initial feature characterization.
