Refinery: Visual Exploration of Large, Heterogeneous Networks through Associative Browsing
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Browsing is a fundamental aspect of exploratory information-seeking. Associative browsing represents a common and intuitive set of exploratory strategies in which users step iteratively from familiar to novel bits of ... -
Visualnostics: Visual Guidance Pictograms for Analyzing Projections of High-dimensional Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)The visual analysis of multivariate projections is a challenging task, because complex visual structures occur. This causes fatigue or misinterpretations, which distorts the analysis. In fact, the same projection can lead ... -
Uncovering Representative Groups in Multidimensional Projections
(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 ... -
Visual Exploration of High-Dimensional Data through Subspace Analysis and Dynamic Projections
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)We introduce a novel interactive framework for visualizing and exploring high-dimensional datasets based on subspace analysis and dynamic projections. We assume the high-dimensional dataset can be represented by a mixture ... -
A Multi-task Comparative Study on Scatter Plots and Parallel Coordinates Plots
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Previous empirical studies for comparing parallel coordinates plots and scatter plots showed some uncertainty about their relative merits. Some of these studies focused on the task of value retrieval, where visualization ... -
Interactive Fusion and Tracking For Multi-Modal Spatial Data Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Scientific data acquired through sensors which monitor natural phenomena, as well as simulation data that imitate time-identified events, have fueled the need for interactive techniques to successfully analyze and understand ... -
Fiber Surfaces: Generalizing Isosurfaces to Bivariate Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Scientific visualization has many effective methods for examining and exploring scalar and vector fields, but rather fewer for bivariate fields. We report the first general purpose approach for the interactive extraction ... -
An Exploratory Study of Data Sketching for Visual Representation
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Hand-drawn sketching on napkins or whiteboards is a common, accessible method for generating visual representations. This practice is shared by experts and non-experts and is probably one of the faster and more expressive ... -
An Evaluation of the Impact of Visual Embellishments in Bar Charts
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)As data visualization becomes further intertwined with the field of graphic design and information graphics, small graphical alterations are made to many common chart formats. Despite the growing prevalence of these ... -
Efficient Contrast Effect Compensation with Personalized Perception Models
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Color is one of the most effective visual variables and is frequently used to encode metric quantities. Contrast effects are considered harmful in data visualizations since they significantly bias our perception of colors. ... -
Data-driven Evaluation of Visual Quality Measures
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Visual quality measures seek to algorithmically imitate human judgments of patterns such as class separability, correlation, or outliers. In this paper, we propose a novel data-driven framework for evaluating such measures. ... -
Rationale Visualization for Safety and Security
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)In safety and security domains where objects of interest (OOI), such as people, vessels, or transactions, are continuously monitored, automated reasoning is required due to their sheer number and volume of information. We ... -
Visual Analytics for Exploring Local Impact of Air Traffic
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)The environmental and noise impact of airports often causes extensive political discussion which in some cases even lead to transnational tensions. Analyzing local approach and departure patterns around an airport is ... -
Interactive Visual Analysis for Vehicle Detector Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Visualization of vehicle detection (VD) data is essential because the data play an important role in traffic control and policy development. Most previous works focus on visualizing trajectories obtained from global ... -
Exploring Traffic Dynamics in Urban Environments Using Vector-Valued Functions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)The traffic infrastructure greatly impacts the quality of life in urban environments. To optimize this infrastructure, engineers and decision makers need to explore traffic data. In doing so, they face two important ... -
Visualization of Particle-based Data with Transparency and Ambient Occlusion
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Particle-based simulation techniques, like the discrete element method or molecular dynamics, are widely used in many research fields. In real-time explorative visualization it is common to render the resulting data using ... -
Photoelasticity Raycasting
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)We present a novel physically-based method to visualize stress tensor fields. By incorporating photoelasticity into traditional raycasting and extending it with reflection and refraction, taking into account polarization, ... -
Edge-Aware Volume Smoothing Using L0 Gradient Minimization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)In volume visualization, noise in regions of homogeneous material and at boundaries between different materials poses a great challenge in extracting, analyzing and rendering features of interest. In this paper, we present ... -
Learning Probabilistic Transfer Functions: A Comparative Study of Classifiers
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)Complex volume rendering tasks require high-dimensional transfer functions, which are notoriously difficult to design. One solution to this is to learn transfer functions from scribbles that the user places in the volumetric ... -
Rule-Enhanced Transfer Function Generation for Medical Volume Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)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 ...
