    Tao, Yubo; Wang, Qirui; Chen, Wei; Wu, Yingcai; Lin, Hai (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 

    Günther, Tobias; Kuhn, Alexander; Theisel, Holger (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 

    Günther, Tobias; Theisel, Holger (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 

    Liebmann, Tom; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
