      Halm, Andreas; Offen, Lars; Fellner, Dieter W. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      This paper presents a protein visualization system called BioBrowser, which provides high quality images at interactive frame rates for molecules of extreme size and complexity. This is achieved by a shift in the tessellation ...
    • Spatialized Transfer Functions 

      Roettger, Stefan; Bauer, Michael; Stamminger, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Multi-dimensional transfer functions are an efficient way to visualize features in scalar volume data produced by CT or MRI scanners. However, the optimal transfer function is difficult to find in general. We present an ...
    • Interactive Methods for Exploring Particle Simulation Data 

      Co, Christopher S.; Friedman, Alex; Grote, David P.; Vay, Jean-Luc; Bethel, E. Wes; Joy, Kenneth I. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In this work, we visualize high-dimensional particle simulation data using a suite of scatterplot-based visualizations coupled with interactive selection tools. We use traditional 2D and 3D projection scatterplots as well ...
    • Extending and Simplifying Transfer Function Design in Medical Volume Rendering Using Local Histograms 

      Lundström, Claes; Ljung, Patric; Ynnerman, Anders (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is known to be of diagnostic value in the analysis of medical data sets. However, its deployment in everyday clinical use has so far been limited. Two major challenges are that the current ...
    • Discovering High-level Parameters for Visualization Design 

      Bhagavatula, Srinivas; Rheingans, Penny; Jardins, Marie des (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In most graphics and visualization applications, the effects of the mapping parameters on the output domain are multidimensional, non-linear and discontinuous. The complexity of such mapping often makes it difficult for a ...
    • Mail Explorer - Spatial and Temporal Exploration of Electronic Mail 

      Keim, Daniel A.; Mansmann, Florian; Panse, Christian; Schneidewind, Jörn; Sips, Mike (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      In today s world, e-mail has become one of the most important means of communication in business and private lives due to its efficiency. However, the problems start as soon as mail volumes go beyond the scope of human ...
    • MoireTrees: Visualization and Interaction for Multi-Hierarchical Data 

      Mohammadi-Aragh, Mahnas Jean; Jankun-Kelly, T. J. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Visualizing hierarchical data is one of the core areas of information visualization. Most of these techniques focus on single hierarchies hierarchies with a single root element and a single path to each element. In contrast, ...
    • Spline-Based Gradient Filters For High-Quality Refraction Computations in Discrete Datasets 

      Li, Shengying; Mueller, Klaus (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Based on the finding that refraction imposes significantly higher demands onto gradient filters than illumination and shading, we evaluate the family of spline filters as a good alternative to the cubic filters, which so ...
