      We describe new techniques for computing a smooth triangular mesh surface that surrounds an enumerated volume consisting of a collection of points from a 3D rectilinear grid. The surface has the topology of an isosurface ...
    • 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 ...
    • SimilarityExplorer: A Visual Inter-Comparison Tool for Multifaceted Climate Data 

      Poco, Jorge; Dasgupta, Aritra; Wei, Yaxing; Hargrove, William; Schwalm, Christopher; Cook, Robert; Bertini, Enrico; Silva, Claudio (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      Inter-comparison and similarity analysis to gauge consensus among multiple simulation models is a critical visualization problem for understanding climate change patterns. Climate models, specifically, Terrestrial Biosphere ...
    • A Simple and Novel Seed-Set Finding Approach for Iso-Surface Extraction 

      Hung, Chiang-Han; Yang, Chuan-kai (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      Iso-surface extraction is one of the most important approaches for volume rendering, and iso-contouring is one of the most effective methods for iso-surface extraction. Unlike most other methods having their search domain ...
    • Simultaneous Classification of Time-Varying Volume Data Based on the Time Histogram 

      Akiba, Hiroshi; Fout, Nathaniel; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
