Abstract: Streamlines visualization is an important research object of ocean vector field visualization,in which the setting of number and location for streamlines seed points is the basis.The key to the problem,how to eliminate the visual confusion and occlusion caused by multiple streamlines,is the accurate clustering of generated streamlines and the selection of appropriate represen-tative streamlines within the clustering.In this paper,the PDM distance is proposed to be the similarity measurement,then the fine streamline clustering is implemented after once endpoints streamline clustering.The proposed method effectively solves the problem of inaccurate endpoint clustering results and improves the accuracy of streamline clustering.After sort of all the PDM distance within each clustering,we extract midline and two boundary lines to redraw the streamlines,so as to reduce the pheno-menon of visual confusion and occlusion caused by multiple streamlines.For the problem of huge amount of calculation,the MDS algorithm is proposed to reduce dimension and accelerate computing speed.In addition,in order to further accelerate the calculation speed,the critical point detection algorithm is adopted to reduce the time-consuming vortex generation during the process ofstreamline generation.The effectiveness and superiority of our proposed method are verified by using ocean flow field data from China coast,and the drawing effect of streamline is good.
