Sketching is one of the simplest ways to visualize ideas. Its key advantage is requiring the user to have neither deep knowledge of a particular drawing software nor any advanced drawing skills. In practice, however, all ...

In this paper, we present a rapid prototyping framework for GPU-based volume rendering. Therefore, we propose a dynamic shader pipeline based on the SuperShader concept and illustrate the design decisions. Also, important ...

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among males, and the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been suggested for its detection. A framework is presented for scoring and visualizing various MR data ...

Pixel-based visualizations have become popular, because they are capable of displaying large amounts of data and at the same time provide many details. However, pixel-based visualizations are only effective if the data set ...

Weather conditions affect multiple aspects of human life such as economy, safety, security, and social activities. For this reason, weather forecast plays a major role in society. Currently weather forecasts are based on ...

Segmentation of volumetric data is an important part of many analysis pipelines, but frequently requires manual inspection and correction. While plenty of volume editing techniques exist, it remains cumbersome and errorprone ...

A novel 3D model classification and retrieval method, based on the PANORAMA representation and Convolutional Neural Networks, is presented. Initially, the 3D models are pose normalized using the SYMPAN method and consecutively ...

Gigapixel panoramas are an increasingly popular digital image application. They are often created as a mosaic of smaller images composited into a larger single image. The mosaic acquisition can occur over many hours causing ...

Reviewing literatures for a certain research field is always important for academics. One could use Google-like information seeking tools, but oftentimes he/she would end up obtaining too many possibly related papers, as ...

Historical and artistic handwritten books are valuable cultural heritage (CH) items, as they provide information about tangible and intangible cultural aspects from the past. Massive digitization projects have made these ...
