      In volume visualization, transfer functions are used to classify the volumetric data and assign optical properties to the voxels. In general, transfer functions are generated in a transfer function space, which is the ...
    • A Shot at Visual Vulnerability Analysis 

      Kerzner, Ethan; Butler, Lee A.; Hansen, Charles; Meyer, Miriah (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Increasing the safety of vehicles is an important goal for vehicle manufacturers. These manufacturers often turn to simulations to understand how to improve a vehicle's design as real-world safety tests are expensive and ...
    • Small MultiPiles: Piling Time to Explore Temporal Patterns in Dynamic Networks 

      Bach, Benjamin; Henry-Riche, Nathalie; Dwyer, Tim; Madhyastha, Tara; Fekete, Jean-Daniel; Grabowski, Thomas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      We introduce MultiPiles, a visualization to explore time-series of dense, weighted networks. MultiPiles is based on the physical analogy of piling adjacency matrices, each one representing a single temporal snapshot. Common ...
    • Towards a Smooth Design Process for Static Communicative Node-link Diagrams 

      Suslik Spritzer, Andre; Boy, Jeremy; Dragicevic, Pierre; Fekete, Jean-Daniel; Dal Sasso Freitas, Carla Maria (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Node-link infographics are visually very rich and can communicate messages effectively, but can be very difficult to create, often involving a painstaking and artisanal process. In this paper we present an investigation ...
    • Uncovering Representative Groups in Multidimensional Projections 

      Joia, Paulo; Petronetto, Fabiano; Nonato, Luis Gustavo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Multidimensional projection-based visualization methods typically rely on clustering and attribute selection mechanisms to enable visual analysis of multidimensional data. Clustering is often employed to group similar ...
    • Vector Field Visualization of Advective-Diffusive Flows 

      Hochstetter, Hendrik; Wurm, Maximilian; Kolb, Andreas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      We propose a framework for unified visualization of advective and diffusive concentration fluxes, which play a key role in many phenomena like, e.g. Marangoni convection and microscopic mixing. The main idea is the ...
    • VIMTEX: A Visualization Interface for Multivariate, Time-Varying, Geological Data Exploration 

      Dasgupta, Aritra; Kosara, Robert; Gosink, Luke (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      Observing interactions among chemical species and microorganisms in the earth's sub-surface is a common task in the field of geology. Bioremediation experiments constitute one such class of interactions which focus on ...
