Time-varying scalar fields are produced by measurements or simulation of physical processes over time, and must be interpreted with the assistance of computational tools. A useful tool in interpreting the data is graphical visualization, often through level sets, or isocontours of a continuous function derived from the data. In this paper we survey isocontour based visualization techniques for time-varying scalar fields. We focus on techniques that aid selection of meaningful isocontours, and algorithms to extract chosen isocontours.
