      Statistical shape modeling is a widely used technique for the representation and analysis of the shapes and shape variations present in a population. A statistical shape model models the distribution in a high dimensional ...
    • Coherent Culling and Shading for Large Molecular Dynamics Visualization 

      Grottel, Sebastian; Reina, Guido; Dachsbacher, Carsten; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      Molecular dynamics simulations are a principal tool for studying molecular systems. Such simulations are used to investigate molecular structure, dynamics, and thermodynamical properties, as well as a replacement for, or ...
    • Matrix Trees 

      Andrysco, Nathan; Tricoche, Xavier (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      We propose a new data representation for octrees and kd-trees that improves upon memory size and algorithm speed of existing techniques. While pointerless approaches exploit the regular structure of the tree to facilitate ...
