Finite element methods commonly use unstructured grids as the computational domain. As a matter of fact, the volume visualization of these unstructured grids is a time consuming task. Here, the fastest known object order ...

Since crash-worthiness simulations get more and more important as part of the car development process in order to reduce the cost of development, enhance the product quality, and minimize the time-to-market, the reliability ...

We present a new downsampling method for structured volmue grids, which preserves much more of the topology of a scalar field than existing downsampling methods by preferable selecting scalar values of critical points. In ...

In this paper we present a technique for interactively rendering transparent molecular surfaces. We use Puxels, our implementation of per-pixel linked lists for order-independent transparency rendering. Furthermore, we ...

For volume rendering of regular grids the display of view-plane aligned slices has proven to yield both good quality and performance. In this paper we demonstrate how to merge the most important extensions of the original ...

In this paper we present a framework that provides remote control to Open Inventor or Cosmo3D based visualization applications. A visualization server distributes a visualization session to Java based clients by transmitting ...

Wavelets and related multiscale representations are important means for edge detection and processing as well as for segmentation and registration. Due to the computational complexity of these approaches no interactive ...

In this work we present a flexible framework for GPU-based volume rendering. The framework is based on a single pass volume raycasting approach and is easily extensible in terms of new shader functionality. We demonstrate ...

Advection has been the standard transport mechanism in flow visualization. Diffusion, in contrast, has not been considered important in visual flow field analysis so far, although it is inherent to many physical processes. ...

Water is known to play a crucial role in protein structure, flexibility and activity. The use of molecular dynamics simulations allows detailed studies of complex protein-solvent interactions. Cluster analysis and density-based ...
