  Visualization of multi-dimensional data is a challenging task. The goal is not the display of multiple data dimensions, but user comprehension of the multi-dimensional data. This paper explores several techniques for ...

• Real-Time Maximum Intensity Projection 

  Mroz, Lukas; König, Andreas; Gröller, Eduard (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) is a volume rendering technique which is used to extract high-intensity structures from volumetric data. At each pixel the highest data value encountered along the corresponding viewing ...

• VISSION: An Object Oriented Dataflow System for Simulation and Visualization 

  Telea, Alexandru; Wijk, Jarke J. van (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Scientific visualization and simulation speciification and monitoring are sometimes addressed by object-oriented environments. Even though object orientation powerfully and elegantly models many application domains, ...

• Visualization of Molecules with Positional Uncertainty 

  Rheingans, Penny; Joshi, Shrikant (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

• 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 ...

• Visualization of Grinding Processes 

  Fiege, Markus; Scheuermann, Gerik; Münchhofen, Michael; Hagen, Hans (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  In grinding technology, the application ofsupcrabrasivcs and increasing demands for higher productivity and higher quality require an appropriate selection of optimum set-up parameters. An efficient way to determine and ...

• VIVENDI - A Virtual Endoscopy System for Virtual Medicine 

  Bartz, Dirk; Skalej, Martin (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Virtual Medicine is an emerging and challenging field in Computer Graphics. Numerous visualization methods are used to model and render data of different modalities. In this paper, we present a new endoscopy system for ...

• 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 ...
