    • A Salience-based Quality Metric for Visualization 

      Jänicke, Heike; Chen, Min (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      Salience detection is a principle mechanism to facilitate visual attention. A good visualization guides the observer s attention to the relevant aspects of the representation. Hence, the distribution of salience over a ...
    • Salient Representation of Volume Data 

      Hladuvka, Jiri; König, Andreas; Gröller, Eduard (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      We introduce a novel method for identification of objects of interest in volume data. Our approach conveys the information contained in two essentially different concepts, the object s boundaries and the narrow solid ...
    • Scalable Detection of Spatiotemporal Encounters in Historical Movement Data 

      Bak, Peter; Marder, Mattias; Harary, Sivan; Yaeli, Avi; Ship, Harold J. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      The widespread adoption of location-aware devices is resulting in the generation of large amounts of spatiotemporal movement data, collected and stored in digital repositories. This forms a fertile ground for domain experts ...
    • Scalable Multi-view Registration for Multi-Projector Displays on Vertically Extruded Surfaces 

      Sajadi, Behzad; Majumder, Aditi (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      Recent work have shown that it is possible to register multiple projectors on non-planar surfaces using a single uncalibrated camera instead of a calibrated stereo pair when dealing with a special class of non-planar ...
    • Scalable, Robust Visualization of Very Large Trees 

      Beermann, Dale; Munzner, Tamara; Humphreys, Greg (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
      The TreeJuxtaposer system [MGT*03] allowed visual comparison of large trees with guaranteed visibility of landmarks and Focus+Context navigation. While that system allowed exploration and comparison of larger datasets than ...
    • Scalable, Versatile and Simple Constrained Graph Layout 

      Dwyer, Tim (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)
      We describe a new technique for graph layout subject to constraints. Compared to previous techniques the proposed method is much faster and scalable to much larger graphs. For a graph with n nodes, m edges and c constraints ...
    • Scale-Stack Bar Charts 

      Hlawatsch, Marcel; Sadlo, Filip; Burch, Michael; Weiskopf, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      It is difficult to create appropriate bar charts for data that cover large value ranges. The usual approach for these cases employs a logarithmic scale, which, however, suffers from issues inherent to its non-linear mapping: ...
    • A Screen Space Quality Method for Data Abstraction 

      Johansson, Jimmy; Cooper, Matthew (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
      The rendering of large data sets can result in cluttered displays and non-interactive update rates, leading to time consuming analyses. A straightforward solution is to reduce the number of items, thereby producing an ...
    • SDViz: A Context-Preserving Interactive Visualization System for Technical Diagrams 

      Woo, Insoo; Kim, SungYe; Maciejewski, Ross; Ebert, David S.; Ropp, Timothy D.; Thomas, Krystal (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)
      When performing daily maintenance and repair tasks, technicians require access to a variety of technical diagrams. As technicians trace components and diagrams from page-to-page, within and across manuals, the contextual ...
    • Secondary Task Display Attributes - Optimizing Visualizations for Cognitive Task Suitability and Interference Avoidance 

      Chewar, C. M.; McCrickard, D. Scott; Ndiwalana, Ali; North, Chris; Pryor, Jon; Tessendorf, David (The Eurographics Association, 2002)
      We found that established display design guidelines for focal images cannot be extended to images displayed as a secondary task in a dual-task situation. This paper describes an experiment that determines a new ordering ...
    • See What You Know: Analyzing Data Distribution to Improve Density Map Visualization 

      Bertini, Enrico; Girolamo, Alessio Di; Santucci, Giuseppe (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      Density maps allow for visually rendering density differences, usually mapping density values to a grey or color scale. The paper analyzes the drawbacks arising from the commonly used strategies and introduces a novel ...
    • Segmentation of DT-MRI Anisotropy Isosurfaces 

      Schultz, Thomas; Theisel, Holger; Seidel, Hans-Peter (The Eurographics Association, 2007)
      While isosurfaces of anisotropy measures for data from diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) are known to depict major anatomical structures, the anisotropy metric reduces the rich tensor data to a simple ...
    • Segmentation of Flow Fields using Pattern Matching 

      Ebling, J.; Scheuermann, G. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Due to the amount of data nowadays, automatic detection, classification and visualization of features is necessary for a thorough inspection of flow data sets. Pattern matching using vector valued templates has already ...
    • Selecting Good Views of High-dimensional Data using Class Consistency 

      Sips, Mike; Neubert, Boris; Lewis, John P.; Hanrahan, Pat (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)
      Abstract Many visualization techniques involve mapping high-dimensional data spaces to lower-dimensional views. Unfortunately, mapping a high-dimensional data space into a scatterplot involves a loss of information; or, ...
    • Selecting Semantically-Resonant Colors for Data Visualization 

      Lin, Sharon; Fortuna, Julie; Kulkarni, Chinmay; Stone, Maureen; Heer, Jeffrey (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2013)
      We introduce an algorithm for automatic selection of semantically-resonant colors to represent data (e.g., using blue for data about ''oceans'', or pink for ''love''). Given a set of categorical values and a target color ...
    • A Selective Refinement Approach for Computing the Distance Functions of Curves 

      Laney, Daniel E.; Duchaineau, Mark A.; Max, Nelson L. (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      We present an adaptive signed distance transform algorithm for curves in the plane. A hierarchy of bounding boxes is required for the input curves. We demonstrate the algorithm on the isocontours of a turbulence simulation. ...
    • Semantic Wordification of Document Collections 

      Paulovich, Fernando V.; Toledo, Franklina M. B.; Telles, Guilherme P.; Minghim, Rosane; Nonato, Luis Gustavo (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Word clouds have become one of the most widely accepted visual resources for document analysis and visualization, motivating the development of several methods for building layouts of keywords extracted from textual data. ...
    • Semantic-Preserving Word Clouds by Seam Carving 

      Wu, Yingcai; Provan, Thomas; Wei, Furu; Liu, Shixia; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2011)
      Word clouds are proliferating on the Internet and have received much attention in visual analytics. Although word clouds can help users understand the major content of a document collection quickly, their ability to visually ...
    • Semi-Automatic Editing of Graphs with Customized Layouts 

      Gladisch, Stefan; Schumann, Heidrun; Ernst, Mathias; Füllen, Georg; Tominski, Christian (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      Usually visualization is applied to gain insight into data. Yet consuming the data in form of visual representation is not always enough. Instead, users need to edit the data, preferably through the same means used to ...
    • Semi-Automatic Time-Series Transfer Functions via Temporal Clustering and Sequencing 

      Woodring, Jonathan; Shen, Han-Wei (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)
      When creating transfer functions for time-varying data, it is not clear what range of values to use for classification, as data value ranges and distributions change over time. In order to generate time-varying transfer ...
