Parallel Marching Blocks: A Practical Isosurfacing Algorithm for Large Data on Many-Core Architectures
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Interactive isosurface visualisation has been made possible by mapping algorithms to GPU architectures. However, current state-of-the-art isosurfacing algorithms usually consume large amounts of GPU memory owing to the ... -
Visual Analysis of Defects in Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers for 4DCT Interrupted In situ Tests
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Material engineers use interrupted in situ tensile testing to investigate the damage mechanisms in composite materials. For each subsequent scan, the load is incrementally increased until the specimen is completely fractured. ... -
GEMSe: Visualization-Guided Exploration of Multi-channel Segmentation Algorithms
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)We present GEMSe, an interactive tool for exploring and analyzing the parameter space of multi-channel segmentation algorithms. Our targeted user group are domain experts who are not necessarily segmentation specialists. ... -
Cytosplore: Interactive Immune Cell Phenotyping for Large Single-Cell Datasets
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)To understand how the immune system works, one needs to have a clear picture of its cellular compositon and the cells' corresponding properties and functionality. Mass cytometry is a novel technique to determine the ... -
Evaluating Viewpoint Entropy for Ribbon Representation of Protein Structure
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)While many measures of viewpoint goodness have been proposed in computer graphics, none have been evaluated for ribbon representations of protein secondary structure. To fill this gap, we conducted a user study on Amazon's ... -
Visibility Equalizer Cutaway Visualization of Mesoscopic Biological Models
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)In scientific illustrations and visualization, cutaway views are often employed as an effective technique for occlusion management in densely packed scenes.We propose a novel method for authoring cutaway illustrations of ... -
Visualizing Co-occurrence of Events in Populations of Viral Genome Sequences
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Virologists are not only interested in point mutations in a genome, but also in relationships between mutations. In this work, we present a design study to support the discovery of correlated mutation events (called ... -
Glyphs for Asymmetric Second-Order 2D Tensors
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Tensors model a wide range of physical phenomena. While symmetric tensors are sufficient for some applications (such as diffusion), asymmetric tensors are required, for example, to describe differential properties of fluid ... -
How Ordered Is It? On the Perceptual Orderability of Visual Channels
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)The design of effective glyphs for visualisation involves a number of different visual encodings. Since spatial position is usually already specified in advance, we must rely on other visual channels to convey additional ... -
Arcs, Angles, or Areas: Individual Data Encodings in Pie and Donut Charts
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Pie and donut charts have been a hotly debated topic in the visualization community for some time now. Even though pie charts have been around for over 200 years, our understanding of the perceptual factors used to read ... -
Comparing Bar Chart Authoring with Microsoft Excel and Tangible Tiles
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Providing tools that make visualization authoring accessible to visualization non-experts is a major research challenge. Currently the most common approach to generating a visualization is to use software that quickly and ... -
Space-Time Bifurcation Lines for Extraction of 2D Lagrangian Coherent Structures
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)We present a novel and efficient technique to extract Lagrangian coherent structures in two-dimensional time-dependent vector fields. We show that this can be achieved by employing bifurcation line extraction in the ... -
Visualizing the Impact of Geographical Variations on Multivariate Clustering
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Traditional multivariate clustering approaches are common in many geovisualization applications. These algorithms are used to define geodemographic profiles, ecosystems and various other land use patterns that are based ... -
Exploring and Comparing Clusterings of Multivariate Data Sets Using Persistent Homology
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Clustering algorithms support exploratory data analysis by grouping inputs that share similar features. Especially the clustering of unlabelled data is said to be a fiendishly difficult problem, because users not only have ... -
Pathfinder: Visual Analysis of Paths in Graphs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)The analysis of paths in graphs is highly relevant in many domains. Typically, path-related tasks are performed in node-link layouts. Unfortunately, graph layouts often do not scale to the size of many real world networks. ... -
TimeArcs: Visualizing Fluctuations in Dynamic Networks
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)In this paper we introduce TimeArcs, a novel visualization technique for representing dynamic relationships between entities in a network. Force-directed layouts provide a way to highlight related entities by positioning ... -
Interactive 3D Force-Directed Edge Bundling
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Interactive analysis of 3D relational data is challenging. A common way of representing such data are node-link diagrams as they support analysts in achieving a mental model of the data. However, naïve 3D depictions of ... -
Comparing Node-Link and Node-Link-Group Visualizations From An Enjoyment Perspective
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)While evaluation studies in visualization often involve traditional performance measurements, there has been a concerted effort to move beyond time and accuracy. Of these alternative aspects, memorability and recall of ... -
Exploring Items and Features with IF,FI-Tables
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)The exploration of high-dimensional data is challenging because humans have difficulty to understand more than three dimensions. We present a new visualization concept that enables users to explore such data and, specifically, ... -
Hierarchical Stochastic Neighbor Embedding
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)In recent years, dimensionality-reduction techniques have been developed and are widely used for hypothesis generation in Exploratory Data Analysis. However, these techniques are confronted with overcoming the trade-off ...
