Retailoring Box Splines to Lattices for Highly Isotropic Volume Representations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)3D box splines are defined by convolving a 1D box function with itself along different directions. In volume visualization, box splines are mainly used as reconstruction kernels that are easy to adapt to various sampling ... -
Decoupled Shading for Real-time Heterogeneous Volume Illumination
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Existing real-time volume rendering techniques which support global illumination are limited in modeling distinct realistic appearances for classified volume data, which is a desired capability in many fields of study for ... -
Similarity Voting based Viewpoint Selection for Volumes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Previous viewpoint selection methods in volume visualization are generally based on some deterministic measures of viewpoint quality. However, they may not express the familiarity and aesthetic sense of users for features ... -
MCFTLE: Monte Carlo Rendering of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent Fields
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Traditionally, Lagrangian fields such as finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) are precomputed on a discrete grid and are ray casted afterwards. This, however, introduces both grid discretization errors and sampling errors ... -
Source Inversion by Forward Integration in Inertial Flows
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Inertial particles are finite-sized objects traveling with a certain velocity that differs from the underlying carrying flow, i.e., they are mass-dependent and subject to inertia. Their backward integration is in practice ... -
Critical Points of Gaussian-Distributed Scalar Fields on Simplicial Grids
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Simulations and measurements often result in scalar fields with uncertainty due to errors or output sensitivity estimates. Methods for analyzing topological features of such fields usually are not capable of handling all ... -
Semi-automatic Vortex Flow Classification in 4D PC-MRI Data of the Aorta
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)We present an Aortic Vortex Classification (AVOCLA) that allows to classify vortices in the human aorta semi-automatically. Current medical studies assume a strong relation between cardiovascular diseases and blood flow ... -
PhysioEx: Visual Analysis of Physiological Event Streams
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)In this work, we introduce a novel visualization technique, the Temporal Intensity Map, which visually integrates data values over time to reveal the frequency, duration, and timing of significant features in streaming ... -
There is More to Streamgraphs than Movies: Better Aesthetics via Ordering and Lassoing
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Streamgraphs were popularized in 2008 when The New York Times used them to visualize box office revenues for 7500 movies over 21 years. The aesthetics of a streamgraph is affected by three components: the ordering of the ... -
Time-Series Plots Integrated in Parallel-Coordinates Displays
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)We present a natural extension of two-dimensional parallel-coordinates plots for revealing relationships in time-dependent multi-attribute data by building on the idea that time can be considered as the third dimension. A ... -
Dynamic Change Arcs to Explore Model Forecasts
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)In many planning applications, a computational model is used to make predictions about the effects of management or engineering decisions. To understand the implications of alternative scenarios, a user typically adjusts ... -
Visual Analysis of Governing Topological Structures in Excitable Network Dynamics
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)To understand how topology shapes the dynamics in excitable networks is one of the fundamental problems in network science when applied to computational systems biology and neuroscience. Recent advances in the field ... -
Using Visualization to Explore Original and Anonymized LBSN Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)We present GSUVis, a visualization tool designed to provide better understanding of location-based social network (LBSN) data. LBSN data is one of the most important sources of information for transportation, marketing, ... -
BubbleNet: A Cyber Security Dashboard for Visualizing Patterns
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)The field of cyber security is faced with ever-expanding amounts of data and a constant barrage of cyber attacks. Within this space, we have designed BubbleNet as a cyber security dashboard to help network analysts identify ... -
Visual Debugging Techniques for Reactive Data Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Interaction is critical to effective visualization, but can be difficult to author and debug due to dependencies among input events, program state, and visual output. Recent advances leverage reactive semantics to support ... -
Designing Multiple Coordinated Visualizations for Tablets
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)The use of multiple coordinated views (MCV) in data visualization provides analytic power because it allows a person to explore data under a variety of different perspectives. Since this design pattern utilizes multiple ... -
Towards Quantitative Visual Analytics with Structured Brushing and Linked Statistics
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Until now a lot of visual analytics predominantly delivers qualitative results-based, for example, on a continuous color map or a detailed spatial encoding. Important target applications, however, such as medical diagnosis ... -
Faceted Views of Varying Emphasis (FaVVEs): a Framework for Visualising Multi-perspective Small Multiples
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Many datasets have multiple perspectives - for example space, time and description - and often analysts are required to study these multiple perspectives concurrently. This concurrent analysis becomes difficult when data ... -
Visual Analysis of Tumor Control Models for Prediction of Radiotherapy Response
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)In radiotherapy, tumors are irradiated with a high dose, while surrounding healthy tissues are spared. To quantify the probability that a tumor is effectively treated with a given dose, statistical models were built and ... -
Visual Analysis of Spatial Variability and Global Correlations in Ensembles of Iso-Contours
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)For an ensemble of iso-contours in multi-dimensional scalar fields, we present new methods to a) visualize their dominant spatial patterns of variability, and b) to compute the conditional probability of the occurrence of ...
