    • Visualization of Molecules with Positional Uncertainty 

      Rheingans, Penny; Joshi, Shrikant (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Designing new and better chemotherapeutic wmpounds requires an understanding of the mechanism by which the drugs exert their biological effects. This involves consideration of the geometry of the active site, determination ...
    • Visualization by Examples: Mapping Data to Visual Representations using Few Correspondences 

      Alexa, Marc; Müller, Wolfgang (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      In this paper we propose a new approach for the generation of visual scales for the visualization of scalar and multivariate data. Based on the specification of only a few correspondences between the data set and elements ...

    • Skeletal Images as Visual Cues in Graph Visualization 

      Herman, I.; Marshall, M.S.; Melancon, G.; Duke, D.J.; Delest, M.; Domenger, J.-P. (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      The problem of graph layout and drawing is fundamental to many approaches to the visualization of relational information structures. As the data set grows, the visualization problem is compounded by the need to reconcile ...
    • A Methodology for Comparing Direct Volume Rendering Algorithms Using a Projection-Based Data Level Approach 

      Kim, Kwansik; Pang, Alex (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Identifying and visualizing uncertainty together with the data is a well recognized problem. One of the culprits that introduce uncertainty in the visualization pipeline is the visualization algorithm itself. Uncertainties ...
    • Efficiently Rendering Large Volume Data Using Texture Mapping Hardware 

      Tong, Xin; Wang, Wenping; Tsang, Waiwan; Tang, Zesheng (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Volume rendering with texture mapping hardware is a fast volume rendering method available on high-end workstations. However, limited texture memory often prevents the method from being used to render large volume data ...
    • A Comparison of Error Indicators for Multilevel Visualization on Nested Grids 

      Gerstner, Thomas; Rumpf, Martin; Weikard, Ulrich (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Multiresolution visualization methods have recently become an indispensable ingredient of real time interactive post processing. Here local error indicators serve as criteria where to refine the data representation on the ...
    • A Client-side Approach towards Platform Independent Molecular Visualization over the World Wide Web 

      Bender, Michael; Hagen, Hans; Seck, Axel (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      A web-based, entirely platform independent Molecular Visualization System has been developed using state of the Internet programming techniques. This system offers the visualization of various molecular models, molecular ...
    • Attribute-Based Feature Tracking 

      Reinders, Freek; Post, Frits H.; Spoelder, Hans J. W. (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Visualization of time-dependent data is an enormous task because of the vast amount of data involved. However, most of the time the scientist is mainly interested in the evolution of certain features. Therefore, it suffices ...
    • Geodesic Flow on Polyhedral Surfaces 

      Polthier, Konrad; Schmies, Markus (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      On a curved surface the front of a point wave evolves in concentric circles which start to overlap and branch after a certain time. This evolution is described by the geodesic flow and helps us to understand the geometry ...
    • Exploring Instationary Fluid Flows by Interactive Volume Movies 

      Glau, Thomas (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      Volume rendering offers the unique ability to represent inner object data and to realize enclosed structures ""at first glance"". Unlike software-based methods, the use of more and more available specialpurpose hardware ...
    • Fast Volume Rotation using Binary Shear-Warp Factorization 

      Csebfalvi, Balazs (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
      This paper presents a fast volume rotation technique based on binary shear-warp factorization. Unlike many acceleration algorithms this method does not trade image quality for speed and does not require any specialized ...
