AVOCADO: Visualization of Workflow-Derived Data Provenance for Reproducible Biomedical Research
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)A major challenge in data-driven biomedical research lies in the collection and representation of data provenance information to ensure that findings are reproducibile. In order to communicate and reproduce multi-step ... -
From Visual Exploration to Storytelling and Back Again
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)The primary goal of visual data exploration tools is to enable the discovery of new insights. To justify and reproduce insights, the discovery process needs to be documented and communicated. A common approach to documenting ... -
Exploratory Visual Analysis for Animal Movement Ecology
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Movement ecologists study animals' movement to help understand their behaviours and interactions with each other and the environment. Data from GPS loggers are increasingly important for this. These data need to be processed, ... -
Composite Flow Maps
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Flow maps are widely used to provide an overview of geospatial transportation data. Existing solutions lack the support for the interactive exploration of multiple flow components at once. Flow components are given by ... -
A Visual Analytics Framework for Microblog Data Analysis at Multiple Scales of Aggregation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Real-time microblogs can be utilized to provide situational awareness during emergency and disaster events. However, the utilization of these datasets requires the decision makers to perform their exploration and analysis ... -
Location-dependent Generalization of Road Networks Based on Equivalent Destinations
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Suppose a user located at a certain vertex in a road network wants to plan a route using a wayfinding map. The user's exact destination may be irrelevant for planning most of the route, because many destinations will be ... -
ConToVi: Multi-Party Conversation Exploration using Topic-Space Views
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)We introduce a novel visual analytics approach to analyze speaker behavior patterns in multi-party conversations. We propose Topic-Space Views to track the movement of speakers across the thematic landscape of a conversation. ... -
TextDNA: Visualizing Word Usage with Configurable Colorfields
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)Patterns of words used in different text collections can characterize interesting properties of a corpus. However, these patterns are challenging to explore as they often involve complex relationships across many words and ... -
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 ...
