      Chlan, E. B.; Rheingans, Penny (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      It is difficult for the average viewer to assimilate and comprehend huge amounts of high-dimensional data. It is important to present data in a way that allows the user a high level understanding of the overall organization ...
    • Boundary Switch Connectors for Topological Visualization of Complex 3D Vector Fields 

      Weinkauf, T.; Theisel, H.; Hege, H.-C.; Seidel, H.-P. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      One of the reasons that topological methods have a limited popularity for the visualization of complex 3D flow fields is the fact that their topological structures contain a number of separating stream surfaces. Since these ...
    • Browsing and Visualizing Digital Bibliographic Data 

      Klink, Stefan; Ley, Michael; Rabbidge, Emma; Reuther, Patrick; Walter, Bernd; Weber, Alexander (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Access to publications is provided by conventional libraries, digital libraries operated by learned societies or commercial publishers, and a huge number of web sites maintained by the scientists themselves or their ...

      Doleisch, Helmut; Mayer, Michael; Gasser, Martin; Wanker, Roland; Hauser, Helwig (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In previous work we have presented visualization techniques that provide engineers with a high degree of interactivity and flexibility for analyzing large, time-dependent, and high-dimensional data sets resulting from CFD ...
    • Case Study: Visualization of annotated DNA sequences 

      Peeters, Tim; Fiers, Mark; Wetering, Huub van de; Nap, Jan-Peter; Wijk, Jarke J. van (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      DNA sequences and their annotations form ever expanding data sets. Proper explorations of such data sets require new tools for visualization and analysis. In this case study, we have defined the requirements for a visualization ...
    • A Cluster-Space Visual Interface for Arbitrary Dimensional Classification of Volume Data 

      Tzeng, Fan-Yin; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In volume visualization, users typically specify transfer functions to classify the data and assign visual attributes to each material class. Higher-dimensional classification makes it easier to differentiate material ...
    • DTI Visualization with Streamsurfaces and Evenly-Spaced Volume Seeding 

      Vilanova, A.; Berenschot, G.; Pul, C. van (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Experimental evidence has shown that water diffusion is anisotropic in organized tissues such as white matter or muscles. Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a non-invasive MR technique that measures water diffusion. DTI is used ...
    • Efficient Display of Background Objects for Virtual Endoscopy using Flexible First-Hit Ray Casting 

      Neubauer, A.; Forster, M.; Wegenkittl, R.; Mroz, L.; Bühler, K. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Many applications of virtual endoscopy require the display of background objects behind the semi-transparent surface of the investigated organ. This paper deals with pre-processing and visualization of background objects ...
    • Efficient Isosurface Tracking Using Precomputed Correspondence Table 

      Ji, Guangfeng; Shen, Han-Wei (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Feature tracking is a useful method for visualizing and analyzing time-varying scalar fields. It allows scientists to focus on regions of interest and track their evolution and interaction over time. To allow the user to ...
