Visualization Service Based on Web Services

Scientific visualization evolved up to the stage where collaborative work in virtual coexistence of various experts has become unavoidable in identifying and solving specific visualization tasks. These problems encouraged one to research and define key aspects of visualization service which will enable collaborative work over the Internet. This paper defines architecture of the whole system and unified interface for all requirements in such environment. Unified requests are sent to visualization processing unit to execute required visualization routine. Collaborative work on the volumetric medical data is a specially demanding task, so the author presents development of VMI (Visualization of Medical data over the Internet) system, where segmentation for visualization is based on joint histogram.
