      Walny, Jagoda; Huron, Samuel; Carpendale, Sheelagh (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Hand-drawn sketching on napkins or whiteboards is a common, accessible method for generating visual representations. This practice is shared by experts and non-experts and is probably one of the faster and more expressive ...
    • An Evaluation of the Impact of Visual Embellishments in Bar Charts 

      Skau, Drew; Harrison, Lane; Kosara, Robert (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      As data visualization becomes further intertwined with the field of graphic design and information graphics, small graphical alterations are made to many common chart formats. Despite the growing prevalence of these ...
    • Efficient Contrast Effect Compensation with Personalized Perception Models 

      Mittelstädt, Sebastian; Keim, Daniel A. (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Color is one of the most effective visual variables and is frequently used to encode metric quantities. Contrast effects are considered harmful in data visualizations since they significantly bias our perception of colors. ...
    • Data-driven Evaluation of Visual Quality Measures 

      Sedlmair, Michael; Aupetit, Michael (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Visual quality measures seek to algorithmically imitate human judgments of patterns such as class separability, correlation, or outliers. In this paper, we propose a novel data-driven framework for evaluating such measures. ...
    • Rationale Visualization for Safety and Security 

      Scheepens, Roeland; Michels, Steffen; Wetering, Huub van de; Wijk, Jarke J. van (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      In safety and security domains where objects of interest (OOI), such as people, vessels, or transactions, are continuously monitored, automated reasoning is required due to their sheer number and volume of information. We ...
