    Real-time microblogs can be utilized to provide situational awareness during emergency and disaster events. However, the utilization of these datasets requires the decision makers to perform their exploration and analysis ...
  • Location-dependent Generalization of Road Networks Based on Equivalent Destinations 

    Dijk, Thomas C. van; Haunert, Jan-Henrik; Oehrlein, Johannes (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Suppose a user located at a certain vertex in a road network wants to plan a route using a wayfinding map. The user's exact destination may be irrelevant for planning most of the route, because many destinations will be ...
  • ConToVi: Multi-Party Conversation Exploration using Topic-Space Views 

    El-Assady, Mennatallah; Gold, Valentin; Acevedo, Carmela; Collins, Christopher; Keim, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    We introduce a novel visual analytics approach to analyze speaker behavior patterns in multi-party conversations. We propose Topic-Space Views to track the movement of speakers across the thematic landscape of a conversation. ...
  • TextDNA: Visualizing Word Usage with Configurable Colorfields 

    Szafir, Danielle Albers; Stuffer, Deidre; Sohail, Yusef; Gleicher, Michael (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Patterns of words used in different text collections can characterize interesting properties of a corpus. However, these patterns are challenging to explore as they often involve complex relationships across many words and ...
  • Retailoring Box Splines to Lattices for Highly Isotropic Volume Representations 

    Csébfalvi, Balázs; Rácz, Gergely (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    3D box splines are defined by convolving a 1D box function with itself along different directions. In volume visualization, box splines are mainly used as reconstruction kernels that are easy to adapt to various sampling ...
  • Decoupled Shading for Real-time Heterogeneous Volume Illumination 

    Zhang, Yubo; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Existing real-time volume rendering techniques which support global illumination are limited in modeling distinct realistic appearances for classified volume data, which is a desired capability in many fields of study for ...
  • Similarity Voting based Viewpoint Selection for Volumes 

    Tao, Yubo; Wang, Qirui; Chen, Wei; Wu, Yingcai; Lin, Hai (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Previous viewpoint selection methods in volume visualization are generally based on some deterministic measures of viewpoint quality. However, they may not express the familiarity and aesthetic sense of users for features ...
  • MCFTLE: Monte Carlo Rendering of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent Fields 

    Günther, Tobias; Kuhn, Alexander; Theisel, Holger (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Traditionally, Lagrangian fields such as finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) are precomputed on a discrete grid and are ray casted afterwards. This, however, introduces both grid discretization errors and sampling errors ...
  • Source Inversion by Forward Integration in Inertial Flows 

    Günther, Tobias; Theisel, Holger (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Inertial particles are finite-sized objects traveling with a certain velocity that differs from the underlying carrying flow, i.e., they are mass-dependent and subject to inertia. Their backward integration is in practice ...
  • Critical Points of Gaussian-Distributed Scalar Fields on Simplicial Grids 

    Liebmann, Tom; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Simulations and measurements often result in scalar fields with uncertainty due to errors or output sensitivity estimates. Methods for analyzing topological features of such fields usually are not capable of handling all ...
  • Semi-automatic Vortex Flow Classification in 4D PC-MRI Data of the Aorta 

    Meuschke, Monique; Köhler, Benjamin; Preim, Uta; Preim, Bernhard; Lawonn, Kai (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    We present an Aortic Vortex Classification (AVOCLA) that allows to classify vortices in the human aorta semi-automatically. Current medical studies assume a strong relation between cardiovascular diseases and blood flow ...
  • PhysioEx: Visual Analysis of Physiological Event Streams 

    Kamaleswaran, Rishikesan; Collins, Christopher; James, Andrew; McGregor, Carolyn (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

  • There is More to Streamgraphs than Movies: Better Aesthetics via Ordering and Lassoing 

    Bartolomeo, Marco Di; Hu, Yifan (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
    Streamgraphs were popularized in 2008 when The New York Times used them to visualize box office revenues for 7500 movies over 21 years. The aesthetics of a streamgraph is affected by three components: the ordering of the ...
  • Time-Series Plots Integrated in Parallel-Coordinates Displays 

    Gruendl, Henning; Riehmann, Patrick; Pausch, Yves; Froehlich, Bernd (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)
