Exploration of bat wing morphology through a strip method and visualization

We present a visual exploration tool that lets biologists navigate through complex bat wing geometries by combining a novel modeling method and an interactive visualization approach. Our work contributes the following: a new method for camber measurement during flight, a new curve fitting method, and a new tool for timevarying data visualization for biological knowledge discovery.
