Interactive Visualization for Neck-Dissection Planning
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
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 ...
Combining Silhouettes, Surface, and Volume Rendering for Surgery Education and Planning
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
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 ...
Form Follows Function: Aesthetic Interactive Labels
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
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 ...
Breaking the Pixel Barrier
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
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 ...
Passive reconstruction of high quality textured 3D models of works of art
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
A wide-spread use of 3D models in cultural heritage application requires low cost equipment and simple modeling procedures. In this context, passive 3D reconstruction methods allow to build 3D models from a set of calibrated ...
On the Origins of the Term Computational Aesthetics
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
To provide some background, as well as a historical context, for the Eurographics 2005 Workshop on Graphics, Visualization and Imaging we provide a chronology, complete with references, covering various research activities ...
Split-Plane Shadow Volumes
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
We present a novel method for rendering shadow volumes. The core idea of the method is to locally choose between Z-pass and Z-fail algorithms on a per-tile basis. The choice is made by comparing the contents of the ...
Galilean Invariant Extraction and Iconic Representation of Vortex Core Lines
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
While vortex region quantities are Galilean invariant, most methods for extracting vortex cores depend on the frame of reference. We present an approach to extracting vortex core lines independently of the frame of reference ...
Smart Visibility in Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
In this paper we discuss expressive visualization techniques that smartly uncover the most important information in order to maximize the visual information in the resulting images. This is achieved through dynamic changes ...
Extending and Simplifying Transfer Function Design in Medical Volume Rendering Using Local Histograms
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is known to be of diagnostic value in the analysis of medical data sets. However, its deployment in everyday clinical use has so far been limited. Two major challenges are that the current ...
