Distortion-Guided Structure-Driven Interactive Exploration of High-Dimensional Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Dimension reduction techniques are essential for feature selection and feature extraction of complex highdimensional data. These techniques, which construct low-dimensional representations of data, are typically geometrically ... -
Evaluating the Impact of User Characteristics and Different Layouts on an Interactive Visualization for Decision Making
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)There is increasing evidence that user characteristics can have a significant impact on visualization effectiveness, suggesting that visualizations could be designed to better fit each user's specific needs. Most studies ... -
Extended Branch Decomposition Graphs: Structural Comparison of Scalar Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)We present a method to find repeating topological structures in scalar data sets. More precisely, we compare all subtrees of two merge trees against each other - in an efficient manner exploiting redundancy. This provides ... -
Extracting Features from Time-Dependent Vector Fields Using Internal Reference Frames
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Extracting features from complex, time-dependent flow fields remains a significant challenge despite substantial research efforts, especially because most flow features of interest are defined with respect to a given ... -
A Gaze-enabled Graph Visualization to Improve Graph Reading Tasks
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Performing typical network tasks such as node scanning and path tracing can be difficult in large and dense graphs. To alleviate this problem we use eye-tracking as an interactive input to detect tasks that users intend ... -
Glyphs for Exploring Crowd-sourced Subjective Survey Classification
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)The findings drawn from opinion survey responses are usually made by producing summary charts or conducting statistical analysis. Both involve data aggregation and filtering as exploring the unaggregated data has traditionally ... -
GuideME: Slice-guided Semiautomatic Multivariate Exploration of Volumes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Multivariate volume visualization is important for many applications including petroleum exploration and medicine. State-of-the-art tools allow users to interactively explore volumes with multiple linked parameter-space ... -
Illustrative Visualization of Molecular Reactions using Omniscient Intelligence and Passive Agents
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)In this paper we propose a new type of a particle systems, tailored for illustrative visualization purposes, in particular for visualizing molecular reactions in biological networks. Previous visualizations of biochemical ... -
InSpectr: Multi-Modal Exploration, Visualization, and Analysis of Spectral Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)This paper addresses the increasing demand in industry for methods to analyze and visualize multimodal data involving a spectral modality. Two data modalities are used: high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (XCT) for ... -
Line Integral Convolution for Real-Time Illustration of Molecular Surface Shape and Salient Regions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)We present a novel line drawing algorithm that illustrates surfaces in real-time to convey their shape. We use line integral convolution (LIC) and employ ambient occlusion for illustrative surface rendering. Furthermore, ... -
LoVis: Local Pattern Visualization for Model Refinement
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Linear models are commonly used to identify trends in data. While it is an easy task to build linear models using pre-selected variables, it is challenging to select the best variables from a large number of alternatives. ... -
Lyra: An Interactive Visualization Design Environment
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)We present Lyra, an interactive environment for designing customized visualizations without writing code. Using drag-and-drop interactions, designers can bind data to the properties of graphical marks to author expressive ... -
Mandatory Critical Points of 2D Uncertain Scalar Fields
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)This paper introduces a novel, non-local characterization of critical points and their global relation in 2D uncertain scalar fields. The characterization is based on the analysis of the support of the probability density ... -
Many Plans: Multidimensional Ensembles for Visual Decision Support in Flood Management
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Uncertainties in flood predictions complicate the planning of mitigation measures. There is a consensus that many possible incident scenarios should be considered. For each scenario, a specific response plan should be ... -
Methods for Compensating Contrast Effects in Information Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Color, as one of the most effective visual variables, is used in many techniques to encode and group data points according to different features. Relations between features and groups appear as visual patterns in the ... -
Metro Transit-Centric Visualization for City Tour Planning
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)In general, city trip planning consists of two main steps: knowing Points-Of-Interest (POIs), and then planning a tour route from the current point to next preferred POIs. We mainly consider the metro for traveling around ... -
Networks of Names: Visual Exploration and Semi-Automatic Tagging of Social Networks from Newspaper Articles
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)Understanding relationships between people and organizations by reading newspaper articles is difficult to manage for humans due to the large amount of data. To address this problem, we present and evaluate a new visual ... -
Opacity Optimization for Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)In flow visualization, integral surfaces rapidly tend to expand, fold and produce vast amounts of occlusion. While silhouette enhancements and local transparency mappings proved useful for semi-transparent depictions, they ... -
Papilio: Visualizing Android Application Permissions
