      Chen, Dan; Chiang, Yi-Jen; Memon, Nasir; Wu, Xiaolin (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      In this paper we investigate the problem of lossless geometry compression of irregular-grid volume data represented as a tetrahedral mesh. We propose a novel lossless compression technique that effectively predicts, models, ...
    • Multiresolution Interblock Interpolation in Direct Volume Rendering 

      Ljung, Patric; Lundström, Claes; Ynnerman, Anders (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present a direct interblock interpolation technique that enables direct volume rendering of blocked, multiresolution volumes. The proposed method smoothly interpolates between blocks of arbitrary block-wise level-of-detail ...
    • Natural Visualizations 

      Haroz, Steve; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper demonstrates the prevalence of a shared characteristic between visualizations and images of nature. We have analyzed visualization competitions and user studies of visualizations and found that the more preferred, ...
    • Path Line Oriented Topology for Periodic 2D Time-Dependent Vector Fields

      This paper presents an approach to extracting a path line oriented topological segmentation for periodic 2D timedependent vector fields. Topological methods aiming in capturing the asymptotic behavior of path lines rarely ...
    • Perspective Isosurface and Direct Volume Rendering for Virtual Endoscopy Applications 

      Scharsach, Henning; Hadwiger, Markus; Neubauer, André; Wolfsberger, Stefan; Bühler, Katja (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Virtual endoscopy has proven to be a very powerful tool in endoscopic surgery. However, most virtual endoscopy systems are restricted to rendering isosurfaces or require segmentation in order to visualize additional objects ...
    • PhylloTrees: Phyllotactic Patterns for Tree Layout 

      Neumann, Petra; Carpendale, Sheelagh; Agarawala, Anand (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Motivations for drawing hierarchical structures are probably as diverse as datasets to visualize. This ubiquity of tree structures has lead to a manifold of tree layout algorithms and tree visualization systems. While many ...
    • PointCloudXplore: Visual Analysis of 3D Gene Expression Data Using Physical Views and Parallel Coordinates 

      Rübel, O.; Weber, G.H.; Keränen, S.V.E.; Fowlkes, C.C.; Hendriks, C.L. Luengo; Simirenko, L.; Shah, N.Y.; Eisen, M.B.; Biggin, M.D.; Hagen, H.; Sudar, D.; Malik, J.; Knowles, D.W.; Hamann, B. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      To allow a more rigorous understanding of animal gene regulatory networks, the Berkeley Drosophila Transcription Network Project (BDTNP) has developed a suite of methods that support quantitative, computational analysis ...
    • Real-Time Super Resolution Contextual Close-up of Clinical Volumetric Data 

      Taerum, T.; Sousa, M. C.; Samavati, F.; Chan, S.; Mitchell, J. R. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present an illustrative visualization system for real-time and high quality rendering of clinical volumetric medical data. Our technique is inspired by a medical illustration technique for depicting contextual close-up ...
    • Robust Surface Detection for Variance Comparison and Dimensional Measurement 

      Heinzl, C.; Klingesberger, R.; Kastner, J.; Gröller, E. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      This paper describes a robust method for creating surface models from volume datasets with distorted density values due to artefacts and noise. Application scenario for the presented work is variance comparison and dimensional ...
    • Segmentation of Flow Fields using Pattern Matching 

      Ebling, J.; Scheuermann, G. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Due to the amount of data nowadays, automatic detection, classification and visualization of features is necessary for a thorough inspection of flow data sets. Pattern matching using vector valued templates has already ...
    • Simultaneous Classification of Time-Varying Volume Data Based on the Time Histogram 

      Akiba, Hiroshi; Fout, Nathaniel; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      An important challenge in the application of direct volume rendering to time-varying data is the specification of transfer functions for all time steps. Very little research has been devoted to this problem, however. To ...
    • A Spectral Visualization System for Analyzing Financial Time Series Data
