Tracking the eye of Hurricane Isabel

This Video shows an application of Morse-Smale complexes for automatic tracking of the eye of a hurricane. The dataset used is a simulation of the hurricane Isabel, that struck the coast of florida in September 2003.

Interactive Hierarchical segmentation

This Video demonstrates an application of the Python programmable 3D MScomplex module using a simulation of the hurricane Isabel. The ease of usage for interactive feature exploration is emphasised upon.

Segmenting protrusions on Molecular Surfaces

This image presents a segmentation of the Molecular Skin surface of the 3wde molecule obtained using the Morse-Smale complex of the mean curvature.
