Key Time Steps Selection for Large-Scale Time-Varying Volume Datasets Using an Information-Theoretic Storyboard
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Key time steps selection is essential for effective and efficient scientific visualization of large-scale time-varying datasets. We present a novel approach that can decide the number of most representative time steps while ... -
Landscaper: A Modeling System for 3D Printing Scale Models of Landscapes
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Landscape models of geospatial regions provide an intuitive mechanism for exploring complex geospatial information. However, the methods currently used to create these scale models require a large amount of resources, which ... -
Maps and Globes in Virtual Reality
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)This paper explores different ways to render world-wide geographic maps in virtual reality (VR). We compare: (a) a 3D exocentric globe, where the user's viewpoint is outside the globe; (b) a flat map (rendered to a plane ... -
Multiscale Visualization and Exploration of Large Bipartite Graphs
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)A bipartite graph is a powerful abstraction for modeling relationships between two collections. Visualizations of bipartite graphs allow users to understand the mutual relationships between the elements in the two collections, ... -
The Perception of Graph Properties in Graph Layouts
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)When looking at drawings of graphs, questions about graph density, community structures, local clustering and other graph properties may be of critical importance for analysis. While graph layout algorithms have focused ... -
PixelSNE: Pixel-Aligned Stochastic Neighbor Embedding for Efficient 2D Visualization with Screen-Resolution Precision
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Embedding and visualizing large-scale high-dimensional data in a two-dimensional space is an important problem, because such visualization can reveal deep insights of complex data. However, most of the existing embedding ... -
Rendering and Extracting Extremal Features in 3D Fields
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Visualizing and extracting three-dimensional features is important for many computational science applications, each with their own feature definitions and data types. While some are simple to state and implement (e.g. ... -
Representative Consensus from Limited-Size Ensembles
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Characterizing the uncertainty and extracting reliable visual information from ensemble data have been persistent challenges in various disciplines, specifically in simulation sciences. Many ensemble analysis and visualization ... -
SetCoLa: High-Level Constraints for Graph Layout
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Constraints enable flexible graph layout by combining the ease of automatic layout with customizations for a particular domain. However, constraint-based layout often requires many individual constraints defined over ... -
Spatio-Temporal Contours from Deep Volume Raycasting
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We visualize contours for spatio-temporal processes to indicate where and when non-continuous changes occur or spatial bounds are encountered. All time steps are comprised densely in one visualization, with contours allowing ... -
ThreadReconstructor: Modeling Reply-Chains to Untangle Conversational Text through Visual Analytics
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)We present ThreadReconstructor, a visual analytics approach for detecting and analyzing the implicit conversational structure of discussions, e.g., in political debates and forums. Our work is motivated by the need to ... -
Time Lattice: A Data Structure for the Interactive Visual Analysis of Large Time Series
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Advances in technology coupled with the availability of low-cost sensors have resulted in the continuous generation of large time series from several sources. In order to visually explore and compare these time series at ... -
Towards Easy Comparison of Local Businesses Using Online Reviews
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)With the rapid development of e-commerce, there is an increasing number of online review websites, such as Yelp, to help customers make better purchase decisions. Viewing online reviews, including the rating score and text ... -
Towards User-Centered Active Learning Algorithms
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The labeling of data sets is a time-consuming task, which is, however, an important prerequisite for machine learning and visual analytics. Visual-interactive labeling (VIAL) provides users an active role in the process ... -
Track Xplorer: A System for Visual Analysis of Sensor-based Motor Activity Predictions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)With the rapid commoditization of wearable sensors, detecting human movements from sensor datasets has become increasingly common over a wide range of applications. To detect activities, data scientists iteratively experiment ... -
VirtualDesk: A Comfortable and Efficient Immersive Information Visualization Approach
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)3D representations are potentially useful under many circumstances, but suffer from long known perception and interaction challenges. Current immersive technologies, which combine stereoscopic displays and natural interaction, ... -
Visual Analysis of Protein-ligand Interactions
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)The analysis of protein-ligand interactions is complex because of the many factors at play. Most current methods for visual analysis provide this information in the form of simple 2D plots, which, besides being quite space ... -
Visual and Quantitative Analysis of Great Arteries' Blood Flow Jets in Cardiac 4D PC-MRI Data
(The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)Flow in the great arteries (aorta, pulmonary artery) is normally laminar with a parabolic velocity profile. Eccentric flow jets are linked to various diseases like aneurysms. Cardiac 4D PC-MRI data provide spatio-temporally ... -
