Prototyping, Visualization and Simulation Using the Application Visualization System

• The Application Visualization System software from Advanced Visual Systems Inc is an interactive visualization environment for scientists, engineers and technical professionals. This report contains a short overview of the AVS software packages and a discussion about its general performance. The software package has actively been used at the Computer Vision Laboratory, Linköping University, during the last three years. The AVS package has been used in many applications. Examples are generating images from a virtual environment, simulation of a controllable robot with a stereo camera head and visualization of multidimensional data structures. Lately we also have used AVS for handling communication between different processes which may be distributed on different machines. AVS was primarily developed as a tool for visualization of complex data sets. However, another important aspect of the software is that it can be used as an advanced workbench for controlling networks of Unix processes (including external ones on different machine types) using simple visual programming.
