In this paper, we present visualization techniques for neck dissection planning. These interventions are carried out to remove lymph node metastasis in the neck region. 3d visualization is intended to explore and to quantify ...

We introduce a flexible combination of volume, surface, and line rendering.We employ object-based edge detection because this allows a flexible parametrization of the generated lines. Our techniques were developed mainly ...

Labels effectively convey co-referential relations between textual and visual elements and are a powerful tool to support learning tasks. Therefore, almost all illustrations in scientific or technical documents employ a ...

The majority of the current advances in computer graphic rendering strive for fast and realistic creation of pixel images, e. g., for the film and gaming industry. This development, unfortunately, leads to various problems ...

Although chemically reactive fluids may be used effectively to increase the reality of visual effects, little work has been done with the general modeling of chemical reactions in computer animation. In this paper, we ...

We present a method for the directable animation of photorealistic liquids using the particle level set method to obtain smooth, visually pleasing complex liquid surfaces. We also provide for a degree of control common to ...

Many real-world, scanned surfaces contain repetitive structures, like bumps, ridges, creases, and so on.We present a compression technique that exploits self-similarity within a point-sampled surface. Our method replaces ...

In this paper, we present a method for real-time visual simulation of diverse dynamic phenomena using programmable graphics hardware. The simulations we implement use an extension of cellular automata known as the coupled ...

New commercially available interactive 3D tracking devices and systems for use in virtual environments are discussed. InterSense originally introduced the IS-900 scalable-area hybrid tracking system for virtual environments ...

Project schedules are effectively represented by Gantt charts, but comparing multiple versions of a schedule is difficult. To compare versions with current methods, users must search and navigate through multiple large ...
