iVisClustering: An Interactive Visual Document Clustering via Topic Modeling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Clustering plays an important role in many large-scale data analyses providing users with an overall understand- ing of their data. Nonetheless, clustering is not an easy task due to noisy features and outliers existing ... -
Document Thumbnails with Variable Text Scaling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Document reader applications usually offer an overview of the layout for each page as thumbnail views. Reading the text in these becomes impossible when the font size becomes very small. We improve the readability of these ... -
Semantic Wordification of Document Collections
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Word clouds have become one of the most widely accepted visual resources for document analysis and visualization, motivating the development of several methods for building layouts of keywords extracted from textual data. ... -
Interface Exchange as an Indicator for Eddy Heat Transport
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)The ocean contains many large-scale, long-lived vortices, called mesoscale eddies, that are believed to have a role in the transport and redistribution of salt, heat, and nutrients throughout the ocean. Determining this ... -
Rolled-out Wordles: A Heuristic Method for Overlap Removal of 2D Data Representatives
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)When representing 2D data points with spacious objects such as labels, overlap can occur. We present a simple algorithm which modifies the (Mani-)Wordle idea with scan-line based techniques to allow a better placement. We ... -
Visualization of Advection-Diffusion in Unsteady Fluid Flow
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Advection has been the standard transport mechanism in flow visualization. Diffusion, in contrast, has not been considered important in visual flow field analysis so far, although it is inherent to many physical processes. ... -
Nearly Recurrent Components in 3D Piecewise Constant Vector Fields
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)We present an algorithm for computing nearly recurrent components, that represent areas of close to circulating or stagnant flow, for 3D piecewise constant (PC) vector fields defined on regular grids. Using a number of ... -
Automatic Stream Surface Seeding: A Feature Centered Approach
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)The ability to capture and visualize information within the flow poses challenges for visualizing 3D flow fields. Stream surfaces are one of many useful integration based techniques for visualizing 3D flow. However seeding ... -
Employing 2D Projections for Fast Visual Exploration of Large Fiber Tracking Data
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Fiber tracts detection is an increasingly common technology for diagnosis and also understanding of brain function. Although tools for tracing and presenting brain fibers are advanced, it is still difficult for physicians ... -
Biopsy Planner - Visual Analysis for Needle Pathway Planning in Deep Seated Brain Tumor Biopsy
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Biopsies involve taking samples from living tissue using a biopsy needle. In current clinical practice they are a first mandatory step before any further medical actions are planned. Performing a biopsy on a deep seated ... -
Visualization of 4D Blood-Flow Fields by Spatiotemporal Hierarchical Clustering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Advancements in the acquisition and modeling of flow fields result in unsteady volumetric flow fields of unprecedented quality. An important example is found in the analysis of unsteady blood-flow data. Preclinical research ... -
Reliable Adaptive Modelling of Vascular Structures with Non-Circular Cross-Sections
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Accurate visualizations of complex vascular structures are essential for medical applications, such as diagnosis, therapy planning and medical education. Vascular trees are usually described using centerlines, since they ... -
Probabilistic Local Features in Uncertain Vector Fields with Spatial Correlation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)In this paper methods for extraction of local features in crisp vector fields are extended to uncertain fields. While in a crisp field local features are either present or absent at some location, in an uncertain field ... -
Vortex Analysis in Uncertain Vector Fields
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)We present an approach to extract and visualize vortex structures in uncertain vector fields. For this, we generalize the concepts of the most common vortex detectors to uncertain vector fields, namely the λ ... -
Visualization of Global Correlation Structures in Uncertain 2D Scalar Fields
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Visualizing correlations, i.e., the tendency of uncertain data values at different spatial positions to change contrarily or according to each other, allows inferring on the possible variations of structures in the data. ... -
A Qualitative Study on the Exploration of Temporal Changes in Flow Maps with Animation and Small-Multiples
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)We present a qualitative user study analyzing findings made while exploring changes over time in spatial interactions. We analyzed findings made by the study participants with flow maps, one of the most popular representations ... -
Conceptualizing Visual Uncertainty in Parallel Coordinates
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Uncertainty is an intrinsic part of any visual representation in visualization, no matter how precise the input data. Existing research on uncertainty in visualization mainly focuses on depicting data-space uncertainty in ... -
Comparative Evaluation of an Interactive Time-Series Visualization that Combines Quantitative Data with Qualitative Abstractions
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)In many application areas, analysts have to make sense of large volumes of multivariate time-series data. Explorative analysis of this kind of data is often difficult and overwhelming at the level of raw data. Temporal ... -
Drawing Large Graphs by Low-Rank Stress Majorization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)Optimizing a stress model is a natural technique for drawing graphs: one seeks an embedding into Rd which best preserves the induced graph metric. Current approaches to solving the stress model for a graph with jVj ... -
Using Signposts for Navigation in Large Graphs
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)In this paper we present a new Focus & Context technique for the exploration of large, abstract graphs. Most Focus & Context techniques present context in a visual way. In contrast, our technique uses a symbolic representation: ...
