    • Line-based rendering with truchet-like tiles 

      Ahmed, Abdalla G. M. (ACM, 2014)
      We explore the use of Truchet-like tiles (tiles with half area shaded) for single-tone (monochrome) line-based rendering of maps. We borrow concepts from information theory to develop some qualitative and quantitative ...

    • The monumental geometry of E Pluribus Unum 

      Kaplan, Craig S.; Jordan, Chris (ACM, 2014)
      We describe the conception and construction of E Pluribus Unum, a large-scale artwork that combines text and geometry to depict over a million names of global organizations dedicated to social and environmental causes. The ...

    • Non-realistic 3D object stylization 

      Kratt, Julian; Eisenkeil, Ferdinand; Pirk, Sören; Sharf, Andrei; Deussen, Oliver (ACM, 2014)
      In this paper we introduce the novel paradigm of non-realistic 3D stylization, where the expressiveness of a given 3D model is manifested in the 3D shape itself, rather than only in its rendering. We analyze the input model ...

    • Spirograph inspired visualization of ecological networks 

      Etemad, Katayoon; Carpendale, Sheelagh; Samavati, Faramarz (ACM, 2014)
      Ecological networks are directed weighted graphs for representing direct and indirect relationships between species in ecosystems. These complex cyclic networks play an important role in understanding an ecosystem's dynamics. ...

    • A study of image colourfulness 

      Amati, Cristina; Mitra, Niloy J.; Weyrich, Tim (ACM, 2014)
      Colourfulness is often thought of as a mere measure of quantity of colour, but user studies suggest that there are more factors influencing the perception of colourfulness. Boosting and enhancing colours are operations ...

    • What does water look like? 

      Kryven, Marta; Cowan, William (ACM, 2014)
      What makes images of water look like water? We conducted four psychophysical experiments to isolate perceptual qualities that make water easy to recognize. Water recognition is facilitated by colour and by three patterns ...
