    • Magnetic Flux Topology of 2D Point Dipoles 

      Bachthaler, Sven; Sadlo, Filip; Weeber, Rudolf; Kantorovich, Sofia; Holm, Christian; Weiskopf, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Magnetic fields exhibit higher-order, nonlinear singularities in the form of point-dipole singularities. In addition, due to absence of divergence, they feature only a subset of invariant structures from traditional vector ...

      Günther, David; Salmon, Joseph; Tierny, Julien (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      This paper introduces a novel, non-local characterization of critical points and their global relation in 2D uncertain scalar fields. The characterization is based on the analysis of the support of the probability density ...
    • Manual Clustering Refinement using Interaction with Blobs 

      Heine, Christian; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      The huge amount of different automatic clustering methods emphasizes one thing: there is no optimal clustering method for all possible cases. In certain application domains, like genomics and natural language processing, ...
    • Many Plans: Multidimensional Ensembles for Visual Decision Support in Flood Management 

      Waser, Jürgen; Konev, Artem; Sadransky, Bernhard; Horváth, Zsolt; Ribicic, Hrvoje; Carnecky, Robert; Kluding, Patrick; Schindler, Benjamin (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      Uncertainties in flood predictions complicate the planning of mitigation measures. There is a consensus that many possible incident scenarios should be considered. For each scenario, a specific response plan should be ...
    • Map-based Visualizations Increase Recall Accuracy of Data 

      Saket, Bahador; Scheidegger, Carlos; Kobourov, Stephen G.; Börner, Katy (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015)
      We investigate the memorability of data represented in two different visualization designs. In contrast to recent studies that examine which types of visual information make visualizations memorable, we examine the effect ...
    • MarketAnalyzer: An Interactive Visual Analytics System for Analyzing Competitive Advantage Using Point of Sale Data 

      Ko, Sungahn; Maciejewski, Ross; Jang, Yun; Ebert, David S. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Competitive intelligence is a systematic approach for gathering, analyzing, and managing information to make informed business decisions. Many companies use competitive intelligence to identify risks and opportunities ...
    • Mass-Dependent Integral Curves in Unsteady Vector Fields 

      Günther, Tobias; Kuhn, Alexander; Kutz, Benjamin; Theisel, Holger (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Recent research in flow visualization is focusing on the analysis of time-dependent, but mass-less particles. However, in many application scenarios, the mass of particles - and their resulting inertia - is essential in ...
    • MatchPad: Interactive Glyph-Based Visualization for Real-Time Sports Performance Analysis 

      Legg, Philip; Chung, David H. S.; Parry, Matthew L.; Jones, Mark W.; Long, Rhys; Griffiths, Iwan W.; Chen, Min (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Today real-time sports performance analysis is a crucial aspect of matches in many major sports. For example, in soccer and rugby, team analysts may annotate videos during the matches by tagging specific actions and events, ...
    • Matrix Trees 

      Andrysco, Nathan; Tricoche, Xavier (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      We propose a new data representation for octrees and kd-trees that improves upon memory size and algorithm speed of existing techniques. While pointerless approaches exploit the regular structure of the tree to facilitate ...
    • A Maximum Enhancing Higher-Order Tensor Glyph 

      Schultz, Thomas; Kindlmann, Gordon (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      Glyphs are a fundamental tool in tensor visualization, since they provide an intuitive geometric representation of the full tensor information. The Higher-Order Maximum Enhancing (HOME) glyph, a generalization of the ...
    • Maximum Entropy Summary Trees 

      Karloff, Howard; Shirley, Kenneth E. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      Given a very large, node-weighted, rooted tree on, say, n nodes, if one has only enough space to display a knode summary of the tree, what is the most informative way to draw the tree? We define a type of weighted tree ...
    • 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 ...
    • MCMR: A Fluid View on Time Dependent Volume Data 

      Leeuw, Wim de; Liere, Robert van (The Eurographics Association, 2003)
      Mass Conservative Motion Reconstruction is a new method for estimating motion in time dependent volume data. A time dependent vector field representing the movement of the data is computed from a sequence of scalar volume ...
    • Medical Applications of Multi-Field Volume Rendering and VR Techniques 

      Kniss, Joe; Schulze, Jürgen P.; Wössner, Uwe; Winkler, Peter; Lang, Ulrich; Hansen, Charles (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
