Particle tracing through numerical integration is a well-known approach to generating pathlines for visualization. However, for particle simulations, the computation of pathlines is expensive, since the interpolation method is complicated due to the lack of connectivity information. Previous studies utilize the k-d tree to reduce the time for neighborhood search. However, the efficiency is still limited by the number of tracing time steps. Therefore, we propose a novel interpolation-based particle tracing method that first represents particle data as B-spline curves and interpolates B-spline control points to reduce the number of interpolation time steps. We demonstrate our approach achieves good tracing accuracy with much less computation time.
