Semantic Screen-Space Occlusion for Multiscale Molecular Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Visual clutter is a major problem in large biological data visualization. It is often addressed through the means of level of detail schemes coupled with an appropriate coloring of the visualized structures. Ambient occlusion ... -
Improving Perception of Molecular Surface Visualizations by Incorporating Translucency Effects
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Molecular surfaces are a commonly used representation in the analysis of molecular structures as they provide a compact description of the space occupied by a molecule and its accessibility. However, due to the high ... -
Global and Local Mesh Morphing for Complex Biological Objects from µCT Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)We show how biologically coherent mesh models of animals can be created from µCT data to generate artificial yet naturally looking intermediate objects. The whole pipeline of processing algorithms is presented, starting ... -
VisualFlatter - Visual Analysis of Distortions in the Projection of Biomedical Structures
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Projections of complex anatomical or biological structures from 3D to 2D are often used by visualization and domain experts to facilitate inspection and understanding. Representing complex structures, such as organs or ... -
Estimation of Muscle Activity in One-Leg Stance from 3D Surface Deformation
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Muscular activity during human motion is usually quantified by measuring the electrical potential during muscle activation using electromyography (EMG). However, apart from producing electrical activity, muscular contraction ... -
Parameterization and Feature Extraction for the Visualization of Tree-like Structures
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)The study and visualization of vascular structures, using 3D models obtained from medical data, is an active field of research. Illustrative visualizations have been applied to this domain in multiple ways. Researchers ... -
Visual Analysis of Regional Anomalies in Myocardial Motion
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Regional anomalies in the myocardial motion of the left ventricle (LV) are important biomarkers for several cardiac diseases. Myocardial motion can be captured using a velocity-encoded magnetic resonance imaging method ... -
Visual Assessment of Vascular Torsion using Ellipse Fitting
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Blood vessels are well explored and researched in medicine and visualization. However, the investigation of vascular torsion has yet been unexplored. In order to understand the development and current state of a single ... -
A Framework for Visual Comparison of 4D PC-MRI Aortic Blood Flow Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Four-dimensional phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D PC-MRI) allows for the non-invasive acquisition of in-vivo blood flow, producing a patient-specific blood flow model in selected vascular structures, e.g. the ... -
A New Vessel Enhancement Transform on Retinal Blood Vessels Segmentation
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)The automatic detection of retinal blood vessels is a very important task in computer aided-diagnosis of retinal diseases. In this work a new method is proposed for the automated detection of the retinal vessels. Three new ... -
Introducing CNN-Based Mouse Grim Scale Analysis for Fully Automated Image-Based Assessment of Distress in Laboratory Mice
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)International standards require close monitoring of distress of animals undergoing laboratory experiments in order to minimize the stress level and allow choosing minimally stressful procedures for the experiments. Currently, ... -
Uncertainty-Guided Semi-Automated Editing of CNN-based Retinal Layer Segmentations in Optical Coherence Tomography
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have enabled dramatic improvements in the accuracy of automated medical image segmentation. Despite this, in many cases, results are still not reliable enough to be trusted ''blindly''. ... -
Visual Analysis of Evolution of EEG Coherence Networks employing Temporal Multidimensional Scaling
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)The community structure of networks plays an important role in their analysis. It represents a high-level organization of objects within a network. However, in many application domains, the relationship between objects in ... -
Progressive and Efficient Multi-Resolution Representations for Brain Tractograms
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Current tractography methods generate tractograms composed of millions of 3D polylines, called fibers, making visualization and interpretation extremely challenging, thus complexifying the use of this technique in a clinical ... -
Iterative Exploration of Big Brain Network Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)A current quest in neurscience is the understanding of how genes, structure and behavior relate to one another. In recent years, big brain-initiatives and consortia have created vast resources of publicly available brain ... -
A Multilinear Model for Bidirectional Craniofacial Reconstruction
