Depth of Field Effects for Interactive Direct Volume Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this paper, a method for interactive direct volume rendering is proposed for computing depth of field effects, which previously were shown to aid observers in depth and size perception of synthetically generated images. ... -
Probabilistic Marching Cubes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In this paper we revisit the computation and visualization of equivalents to isocontours in uncertain scalar fields. We model uncertainty by discrete random fields and, in contrast to previous methods, also take arbitrary ... -
Structural Decomposition Trees
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Researchers and analysts in modern industrial and academic environments are faced with a daunting amount of multi-dimensional data. While there has been significant development in the areas of data mining and knowledge ... -
Uncertainty-Aware Exploration of Continuous Parameter Spaces Using Multivariate Prediction
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Systems projecting a continuous n-dimensional parameter space to a continuous m-dimensional target space play an important role in science and engineering. If evaluating the system is expensive, however, an analysis is ... -
The Undistort Lens
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Detail-in-context lens techniques can be useful for exploring visualizations of data spaces that are too large or have too much detail to fit in regular displays. For example, by bending the space in the right way we can ... -
Visualization of Time-Series Data in Parameter Space for Understanding Facial Dynamics
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Over the past decade, computer scientists and psychologists have made great efforts to collect and analyze facial dynamics data that exhibit different expressions and emotions. Such data is commonly captured as videos and ... -
Assisted Descriptor Selection Based on Visual Comparative Data Analysis
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Exploration and selection of data descriptors representing objects using a set of features are important components in many data analysis tasks. Usually, for a given dataset, an optimal data description does not exist, as ... -
Dynamic Insets for Context-Aware Graph Navigation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Maintaining both overview and detail while navigating in graphs, such as road networks, airline route maps, or social networks, is difficult, especially when targets of interest are located far apart. We present a navigation ... -
Visual Boosting in Pixel-based Visualizations
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Pixel-based visualizations have become popular, because they are capable of displaying large amounts of data and at the same time provide many details. However, pixel-based visualizations are only effective if the data set ... -
Topological Features in 2D Symmetric Higher-Order Tensor Fields
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)The topological structure of scalar, vector, and second-order tensor fields provides an important mathematical basis for data analysis and visualization. In this paper, we extend this framework towards higher-order tensors. ... -
Stable Morse Decompositions for Piecewise Constant Vector Fields on Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Numerical simulations and experimental observations are inherently imprecise. Therefore, most vector fields of interest in scientific visualization are known only up to an error. In such cases, some topological features, ... -
Complete Tensor Field Topology on 2D Triangulated Manifolds embedded in 3D
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)This paper is concerned with the extraction of the surface topology of tensor fields on 2D triangulated manifolds embedded in 3D. In scientific visualization topology is a meaningful instrument to get a hold on the structure ... -
An Evaluation of Visualization Techniques to Illustrate Statistical Deformation Models
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)As collections of 2D/3D images continue to grow, interest in effective ways to visualize and explore the statistical morphological properties of a group of images has surged. Recently, deformation models have emerged as ... -
Evaluation of the Visibility of Vessel Movement Features in Trajectory Visualizations
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)There are many visualizations that show the trajectory of a moving object to obtain insights in its behavior. In this user study, we test the performance of three of these visualizations with respect to three movement ... -
Perceptual Evaluation of Ghosted View Techniques for the Exploration of Vascular Structures and Embedded Flow
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)This paper presents three controlled perceptual studies investigating the visualization of the cerebral aneurysm anatomy with embedded flow visualization. We evaluate and compare the common semitransparent visualization ... -
A User Study of Visualization Effectiveness Using EEG and Cognitive Load
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Effectively evaluating visualization techniques is a difficult task often assessed through feedback from user studies and expert evaluations. This work presents an alternative approach to visualization evaluation in which ... -
Energy-scale Aware Feature Extraction for Flow Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)In the visualization of flow simulation data, feature detectors often tend to result in overly rich response, making some sort of filtering or simplification necessary to convey meaningful images. In this paper we present ... -
Visual Reconstructability as a Quality Metric for Flow Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)We present a novel approach for the evaluation of 2D flow visualizations based on the visual reconstructability of the input vector fields. According to this metric, a visualization has high quality if the underlying data ... -
Lagrangian Coherent Structures with Guaranteed Material Separation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Given an unsteady flow field, one common way to compute Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) is to extract extremal structures of the Finite Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE). Experience has shown that the resulting structures ... -
Semantic-Preserving Word Clouds by Seam Carving
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)Word clouds are proliferating on the Internet and have received much attention in visual analytics. Although word clouds can help users understand the major content of a document collection quickly, their ability to visually ...
