Accelerating Volume Raycasting using Proxy Spheres
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)In this paper, we propose an efficient solution that addresses the performance problems of current single-pass GPU raycasting algorithms. Our paper provides more control over the rendering process by introducing tighter ... -
Bivariate Transfer Functions on Unstructured Grids
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Multi-dimensional transfer functions are commonly used in rectilinear volume renderings to effectively portray materials, material boundaries and even subtle variations along boundaries. However, most unstructured grid ... -
The Chinese Room: Visualization and Interaction to Understand and Correct Ambiguous Machine Translation
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)We present The Chinese Room, a visualization interface that allows users to explore and interact with a multitude of linguistic resources in order to decode and correct poor machine translations. The target users of The ... -
Collaborative Brushing and Linking for Co-located Visual Analytics of Document Collections
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Many real-world analysis tasks can benefit from the combined efforts of a group of people. Past research has shown that to design visualizations for collaborative visual analytics tasks, we need to support both individual ... -
Combining Map Displays and 3D Visualizations for the Analysis of Scalar Data on Cerebral Aneurysm Surfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Cerebral aneurysms result from a congenital or evolved weakness of stabilizing parts of the vessel wall and potentially lead to rupture and a life-threatening bleeding. Current medical research concentrates on the integration ... -
Comparing Parameter Manipulation with Mouse, Pen, and Slider User Interfaces
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Visual fixation on one s tool(s) takes much attention away from one s primary task. Following the belief that the best tools disappear and become invisible to the user, we present a study comparing visual fixations (eye ... -
Context-aware Volume Modeling of Skeletal Muscles
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)This paper presents an interactive volume modeling method that constructs skeletal muscles from an existing volumetric dataset. Our approach provides users with an intuitive modeling interface and produces compelling results ... -
Direct Visualization of Deformation in Volumes
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Deformation is a topic of interest in many disciplines. In particular in medical research, deformations of surfaces and even entire volumetric structures are of interest. Clear visualization of such deformations can lead ... -
A Directional Occlusion Shading Model for Interactive Direct Volume Rendering
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Volumetric rendering is widely used to examine 3D scalar fields from CT/MRI scanners and numerical simulation datasets. One key aspect of volumetric rendering is the ability to provide perceptual cues to aid in understanding ... -
DocuBurst: Visualizing Document Content using Language Structure
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Textual data is at the forefront of information management problems today. One response has been the development of visualizations of text data. These visualizations, commonly based on simple attributes such as relative ... -
Efficient and Adaptive Rendering of 2-D Continuous Scatterplots
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)We extend the rendering technique for continuous scatterplots to allow for a broad class of interpolation methods within the spatial grid instead of only linear interpolation. To do this, we propose an approach that projects ... -
Enclosing Surfaces for Point Clusters Using 3D Discrete Voronoi Diagrams
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Point clusters occur in both spatial and non-spatial data. In the former context they may represent segmented particle data, in the latter context they may represent clusters in scatterplots. In order to visualize such ... -
Extended Excentric Labeling
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)The paper presents an extension to the Excentric Labeling, a labeling technique to dynamically show labels around a movable lens. Each labels refers to one object within the lens and is connected to it through a line. The ... -
Force-Directed Edge Bundling for Graph Visualization
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Abstract Graphs depicted as node-link diagrams are widely used to show relationships between entities. However, nodelink diagrams comprised of a large number of nodes and edges often suffer from visual clutter. The use of ... -
Fully Automatic Visualisation of Overlapping Sets
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Visualisation of taxonomies and sets has recently become an active area of research. Many application fields now require more than a strict classification of elements into a hierarchy tree. Euler diagrams, one of the most ... -
Fused Multi-Volume DVR using Binary Space Partitioning
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Multiple-volume visualization is a growing field in medical imaging providing simultaneous exploration of volumes acquired from varying modalities. However, high complexity results in an increased strain on performance ... -
The Gödel Engine - An Interactive Approach to Visualization in General Relativity
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)We present a methodical new approach to visualize the aspects of general relativity from a self-centered perspective. We focus on the visualization of the Gödel universe, which is an exact solution to Einstein s field ... -
Hierarchical Vortex Regions in Swirling Flow
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)We propose a new criterion to characterize hierarchical two-dimensional vortex regions induced by swirling motion. Central to the definition are closed loops that intersect the flow field at a constant angle. The union of ... -
High-Quality Volumetric Reconstruction on Optimal Lattices for Computed Tomography
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)Within the context of emission tomography, we study volumetric reconstruction methods based on the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. We show, for the first time, the equivalence of the standard implementation of the ... -
Illuminated 3D Scatterplots
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)In contrast to 2D scatterplots, the existing 3D variants have the advantage of showing one additional data dimension, but suffer from inadequate spatial and shape perception and therefore are not well suited to display ...
