    • Conceptualizing Visual Uncertainty in Parallel Coordinates 

      Dasgupta, Aritra; Chen, Min; Kosara, Robert (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 

      Aigner, Wolfgang; Rind, Alexander; Hoffmann, Stephan (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 

      Khoury, Marc; Hu, Yifan; Krishnan, Shankar; Scheidegger, Carlos (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 

      May, Thorsten; Steiger, Martin; Davey, James; Kohlhammer, Jörn (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: ...
    • Parallel Computation of 3D Morse-Smale Complexes 

      Shivashankar, Nithin; Natarajan, Vijay (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      The Morse-Smale complex is a topological structure that captures the behavior of the gradient of a scalar function on a manifold. This paper discusses scalable techniques to compute the Morse-Smale complex of scalar functions ...
    • The World's Languages Explorer: Visual Analysis of Language Features in Genealogical and Areal Contexts 

      Rohrdantz, Christian; Hund, Michael; Mayer, Thomas; Wälchli, Bernhard; Keim, Daniel A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      This paper presents a novel Visual Analytics approach that helps linguistic researchers to explore the world's languages with respect to several important tasks: (1) The comparison of manually and automatically extracted ...
    • Magnetic Flux Topology of 2D Point Dipoles 

      Bachthaler, Sven; Sadlo, Filip; Weeber, Rudolf; Kantorovich, Sofia; Holm, Christian; Weiskopf, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Magnetic fields exhibit higher-order, nonlinear singularities in the form of point-dipole singularities. In addition, due to absence of divergence, they feature only a subset of invariant structures from traditional vector ...
    • A Quantized Boundary Representation of 2D Flows 

      Levine, Joshua; Jadhav, Shreeraj; Bhatia, Harsh; Pascucci, Valerio; Bremer, Peer-Timo (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Analysis and visualization of complex vector fields remain major challenges when studying large scale simulation of physical phenomena. The primary reason is the gap between the concepts of smooth vector field theory and ...
    • Travel-Route-Centered Metro Map Layout and Annotation 

      Wu, Hsiang-Yun; Takahashi, Shigeo; Lin, Chun-Cheng; Yen, Hsu-Chun (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      When providing travel guides for a specific route in a metro network, we often place the route around the center of the map and annotate stations on the route with thumbnail photographs. Nonetheless, existing methods do ...
    • Scalable Detection of Spatiotemporal Encounters in Historical Movement Data 

      Bak, Peter; Marder, Mattias; Harary, Sivan; Yaeli, Avi; Ship, Harold J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      The widespread adoption of location-aware devices is resulting in the generation of large amounts of spatiotemporal movement data, collected and stored in digital repositories. This forms a fertile ground for domain experts ...
    • Multi-layer Illustrative Dense Flow Visualization 

      Carnecky, Robert; Schindler, Benjamin; Fuchs, Raphael; Peikert, Ronald (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      We present a dense visualization of vector fields on multi-layered surfaces. The method is based on the illustration buffer, which provides a screen space representation of the surface, where each pixel stores a list of ...
    • Illustrative Membrane Clipping 

      Birkeland, Åsmund; Bruckner, Stefan; Brambilla, Andrea; Viola, Ivan (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Clipping is a fast, common technique for resolving occlusions. It only requires simple interaction, is easily understandable, and thus has been very popular for volume exploration. However, a drawback of clipping is that ...
    • Interactive Visualization of Generalized Virtual 3D City Models using Level-of-Abstraction Transitions 

      Semmo, Amir; Trapp, Matthias; Kyprianidis, Jan Eric; Döllner, Jürgen (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Virtual 3D city models play an important role in the communication of complex geospatial information in a growing number of applications, such as urban planning, navigation, tourist information, and disaster management. ...
