    • Abstractive Representation and Exploration of Hierarchically Clustered Diffusion Tensor Fiber Tracts 

      Chen, Wei; Zhang, Song; Correia, Stephen; Ebert, David S. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been used to generate fibrous structures in both brain white matter and muscles. Fiber clustering groups the DTI fibers into spatially and anatomically related tracts. As an increasing ...

    • Animating Causal Overlays 

      Bartram, Lyn; Yao, Miao (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      Most approaches to representing causality, such as the common causal graph, require a separate and static view, but in many cases it is useful to add the dimension of causality to the context of an existing visualization. ...

      Jänicke, Heike; Böttinger, Michael; Tricoche, Xavier; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      Current unsteady multi-field simulation data-sets consist of millions of data-points. To efficiently reduce this enormous amount of information, local statistical complexity was recently introduced as a method that identifies ...

    • Centrality Based Visualization of Small World Graphs 

      Ham, Frank van; Wattenberg, Martin (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      Current graph drawing algorithms enable the creation of two dimensional node-link diagrams of huge graphs. However, for graphs with low diameter (of which "small world" graphs are a subset) these techniques begin to break ...

      Abstract Neuronal dendrites and their spines affect the connectivity of neural networks, and play a significant role in many neurological conditions. Neuronal function is observed to be closely correlated with the appearance, ...

    • Code Flows: Visualizing Structural Evolution of Source Code 

      Telea, Alexandru; Auber, David (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      Understanding detailed changes done to source code is of great importance in software maintenance. We present Code Flows, a method to visualize the evolution of source code geared to the understanding of fine and mid-level ...

    • Computing Local Signed Distance Fields for Large Polygonal Models 

      Chang, Byungjoon; Cha, Deukhyun; Ihm, Insung (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      The signed distance field for a polygonal model is a useful representation that facilitates efficient computation in many visualization and geometric processing tasks. Often it is more effective to build a local distance ...

    • Concurrent Viewing of Multiple Attribute-Specific Subspaces 

      Sisneros, Robert; Johnson, C. Ryan; Huang, Jian (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      In this work we present a point classification algorithm for multi-variate data. Our method is based on the concept of attribute subspaces, which are derived from a set of user specified attribute target values. Our ...

    • COPERNICUS: Context-Preserving Engine for Route Navigation with Interactive User-modifiable Scaling 

      Ziegler, Hartmut; Keim, Daniel A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      In this paper, we present an automated system for generating context-preserving route maps that depict navigation routes as a path between nodes and edges inside a topographic network. Our application identifies relevant ...

    • Density Displays for Data Stream Monitoring 

      Hao, Ming; Keim, Daniel A.; Dayal, Umeshwar; Oelke, Daniela; Tremblay, Chantal (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      In many business applications, large data workloads such as sales figures or process performance measures need to be monitored in real-time. The data analysts want to catch problems in flight to reveal the root cause of ...

    • Discrete Multi-Material Interface Reconstruction for Volume Fraction Data 

      Anderson, John C.; Garth, C.; Duchaineau, Mark A.; Joy, Kenneth I. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      We present the results from a user study looking at the ability of observers to mentally integrate wind direction and magnitude over a vector field. The data set chosen for the study is an MM5 (PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model) ...

    • Evaluation of Illustration-inspired Techniques for Time-varying Data Visualization 

      Joshi, Alark; Rheingans, Penny (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      Illustration-inspired techniques have provided alternative ways to visualize time-varying data. Techniques such as speedlines, flow ribbons, strobe silhouettes and opacity-based techniques provide temporal context to the ...

    • Exploratory Visualization of Animal Kinematics Using Instantaneous Helical Axes 

      Keefe, Daniel F.; O'Brien, Trevor M.; Baier, David B.; Gatesy, Stephen M.; Brainerd, Elizabeth L.; Laidlaw, David H. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      We present novel visual and interactive techniques for exploratory visualization of animal kinematics using instantaneous helical axes (IHAs). The helical axis has been used in orthopedics, biomechanics, and structural ...
