      There is increasing evidence that user characteristics can have a significant impact on visualization effectiveness, suggesting that visualizations could be designed to better fit each user's specific needs. Most studies ...
    • Extended Branch Decomposition Graphs: Structural Comparison of Scalar Data 

      Saikia, Himangshu; Seidel, Hans-Peter; Weinkauf, Tino (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      We present a method to find repeating topological structures in scalar data sets. More precisely, we compare all subtrees of two merge trees against each other - in an efficient manner exploiting redundancy. This provides ...
    • Extracting Features from Time-Dependent Vector Fields Using Internal Reference Frames 

      Bhatia, Harsh; Pascucci, Valerio; Kirby, Robert M.; Bremer, Peer-Timo (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      Extracting features from complex, time-dependent flow fields remains a significant challenge despite substantial research efforts, especially because most flow features of interest are defined with respect to a given ...
    • A Gaze-enabled Graph Visualization to Improve Graph Reading Tasks 

      Okoe, Mershack; Alam, Sayeed Safayet; Jianu, Radu (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      Performing typical network tasks such as node scanning and path tracing can be difficult in large and dense graphs. To alleviate this problem we use eye-tracking as an interactive input to detect tasks that users intend ...
    • Glyphs for Exploring Crowd-sourced Subjective Survey Classification 

      Kachkaev, Alex; Wood, Jo; Dykes, Jason (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2014)
      The findings drawn from opinion survey responses are usually made by producing summary charts or conducting statistical analysis. Both involve data aggregation and filtering as exploring the unaggregated data has traditionally ...
