Graphs in Scientific Visualization: A Survey
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Graphs represent general node‐link diagrams and have long been utilized in scientific visualization for data organization and management. However, using graphs as a visual representation and interface for navigating and ... -
A Survey of Surface Reconstruction from Point Clouds
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)The area of surface reconstruction has seen substantial progress in the past two decades. The traditional problem addressed by surface reconstruction is to recover the digital representation of a physical shape that has ... -
Synthesis of Human Skin Pigmentation Disorders
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Changes in the human pigmentary system can lead to imbalances in the distribution of melanin in the skin resulting in artefacts known as pigmented lesions. Our work takes as departing point biological data regarding human ... -
Constrained Convex Space Partition for Ray Tracing in Architectural Environments
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)This paper explores constrained convex space partition (CCSP) as a new acceleration structure for ray tracing. A CCSP is a graph, representing a space partition made up of empty convex volumes. The scene geometry is located ... -
Partial Functional Correspondence
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)In this paper, we propose a method for computing partial functional correspondence between non‐rigid shapes. We use perturbation analysis to show how removal of shape parts changes the Laplace–Beltrami eigenfunctions, and ... -
Output-Sensitive Filtering of Streaming Volume Data
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Real‐time volume data acquisition poses substantial challenges for the traditional visualization pipeline where data enhancement is typically seen as a pre‐processing step. In the case of 4D ultrasound data, for instance, ... -
Constructive Visual Analytics for Text Similarity Detection
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Detecting similarity between texts is a frequently encountered text mining task. Because the measurement of similarity is typically composed of a number of metrics, and some measures are sensitive to subjective interpretation, ... -
Consistent Partial Matching of Shape Collections via Sparse Modeling
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Recent efforts in the area of joint object matching approach the problem by taking as input a set of pairwise maps, which are then jointly optimized across the whole collection so that certain accuracy and consistency ... -
Multi-Modal Perception for Selective Rendering
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)A major challenge in generating high‐fidelity virtual environments (VEs) is to be able to provide realism at interactive rates. The high‐fidelity simulation of light and sound is still unachievable in real time as such ... -
Visualization and Quantification for Interactive Analysis of Neural Connectivity in Drosophila
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Neurobiologists investigate the brain of the common fruit fly to discover neural circuits and link them to complex behaviour. Formulating new hypotheses about connectivity requires potential connectivity information between ... -
Towards Globally Optimal Normal Orientations for Large Point Clouds
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Various processing algorithms on point set surfaces rely on consistently oriented normals (e.g. Poisson surface reconstruction). While several approaches exist for the calculation of normal directions, in most cases, their ... -
Accurate and Efficient Computation of Laplacian Spectral Distances and Kernels
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)This paper introduces the Laplacian spectral distances, as a function that resembles the usual distance map, but exhibits properties (e.g. smoothness, locality, invariance to shape transformations) that make them useful ... -
A Taxonomy and Survey of Dynamic Graph Visualization
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Dynamic graph visualization focuses on the challenge of representing the evolution of relationships between entities in readable, scalable and effective diagrams. This work surveys the growing number of approaches in this ... -
Data‐Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Data‐driven methods serve an increasingly important role in discovering geometric, structural and semantic relationships between shapes. In contrast to traditional approaches that process shapes in isolation of each other, ... -
Predicting Visual Perception of Material Structure in Virtual Environments
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)One of the most accurate yet still practical representation of material appearance is the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF). The BTF can be viewed as an extension of Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) ... -
A Survey of Visualization for Live Cell Imaging
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Live cell imaging is an important biomedical research paradigm for studying dynamic cellular behaviour. Although phenotypic data derived from images are difficult to explore and analyse, some researchers have successfully ... -
Synthesizing Ornamental Typefaces
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)We present a method for creating ornamental typeface images. Ornamental typefaces are a composite artwork made from the assemblage of images that carry similar semantics to words. These appealing word‐art works often attract ... -
Discovering Structured Variations Via Template Matching
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Understanding patterns of variation from raw measurement data remains a central goal of shape analysis. Such an understanding reveals which elements are repeated, or how elements can be derived as structured variations ... -
Digital Fabrication Techniques for Cultural Heritage: A Survey
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)Digital fabrication devices exploit basic technologies in order to create tangible reproductions of 3D digital models. Although current 3D printing pipelines still suffer from several restrictions, accuracy in reproduction ... -
Inversion Fractals and Iteration Processes in the Generation of Aesthetic Patterns
(© 2017 The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2017)In this paper, we generalize the idea of star‐shaped set inversion fractals using iterations known from fixed point theory. We also extend the iterations from real parameters to so‐called ‐system numbers and proposed the ...
