    • Meshless Isosurface Generation from Multiblock Data 

      Co, Christopher S.; Porumbescu, Serban D.; Joy, Kenneth I. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We propose a meshless method for the extraction of high-quality continuous isosurfaces from volumetric data represented by multiple grids, also called "multiblock" data sets. Multiblock data sets are commonplace in ...

    • Occlusion Culling for Sub-Surface Models in Geo-Scientific Applications 

      Plate, John; Grundhoefer, Anselm; Schmidt, Benjamin; Froehlich, und Bernd (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Modern graphics cards support occlusion culling in hardware. We present a three pass algorithm, which makes efficient use of this feature. Our geo-scientific sub-surface data sets consist typically of a set of high resolution ...

    • Ray Casting Curved-Quadratic Elements 

      Wiley, D. F.; Childs, H. R.; Hamann, B.; Joy, K. I. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a method for ray casting curved-quadratic elements in 3D. The advantages of this approach is that a curved element can be directly visualized. Conventionally, higher-order elements are tessellated with several ...

    • Shape-Embedded-Histograms for Visual Data Mining 

      Amir, Amihood; Kashi, Reuven; Keim, Daniel A.; Netanyahu, Nathan S.; Wawryniuk, Markus (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Scatterplots are widely used in exploratory data analysis and class visualization. The advantages of scatterplots are that they are easy to understand and allow the user to draw conclusions about the attributes which span ...

    • Software Landscapes: Visualizing the Structure of Large Software Systems 

      Balzer, Michael; Noack, Andreas; Deussen, Oliver; Lewerentz, Claus (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Modern object-oriented programs are hierarchical systems with many thousands of interrelated subsystems. Visualization helps developers to better comprehend these large and complex systems. This paper presents a three-dimensional ...

    • Superquadric Tensor Glyphs 

      Kindlmann, Gordon (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Tensor field visualization is a challenging task due in part to the multi-variate nature of individual tensor samples. Glyphs convey tensor variables by mapping the tensor eigenvectors and eigenvalues to the orientation ...

    • Surface Techniques for Vortex Visualization 

      Garth, Christoph; Tricoche, Xavier; Salzbrunn, Tobias; Bobach, Tom; Scheuermann, Gerik (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
