    • Interface Exchange as an Indicator for Eddy Heat Transport 

      Williams, Sean; Petersen, Mark; Hecht, Matthew; Maltrud, Mathew; Patchett, John; Ahrens, James; Hamann, Bernd (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      The ocean contains many large-scale, long-lived vortices, called mesoscale eddies, that are believed to have a role in the transport and redistribution of salt, heat, and nutrients throughout the ocean. Determining this ...
    • iVisClustering: An Interactive Visual Document Clustering via Topic Modeling 

      Lee, Hanseung; Kihm, Jaeyeon; Choo, Jaegul; Stasko, John; Park, Haesun (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Clustering plays an important role in many large-scale data analyses providing users with an overall understand- ing of their data. Nonetheless, clustering is not an easy task due to noisy features and outliers existing ...
    • Kelp Diagrams: Point Set Membership Visualization 

      Dinkla, Kasper; Kreveld, Marc van; Speckmann, Bettina; Westenberg, Michel A. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      We present Kelp Diagrams, a novel method to depict set relations over points, i.e., elements with predefined positions. Our method creates schematic drawings and has been designed to take aesthetic quality, efficiency, and ...
    • Magnetic Flux Topology of 2D Point Dipoles 

      Bachthaler, Sven; Sadlo, Filip; Weeber, Rudolf; Kantorovich, Sofia; Holm, Christian; Weiskopf, Daniel (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
      Magnetic fields exhibit higher-order, nonlinear singularities in the form of point-dipole singularities. In addition, due to absence of divergence, they feature only a subset of invariant structures from traditional vector ...
    • MarketAnalyzer: An Interactive Visual Analytics System for Analyzing Competitive Advantage Using Point of Sale Data 

      Ko, Sungahn; Maciejewski, Ross; Jang, Yun; Ebert, David S. (The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2012)
