      Slice-based visualizations of CT and MRI data are frequently used for diagnosis, intervention planning and intraoperative navigation since they allow a precise analysis and localization. We present new techniques to enhance ...
    • 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 ...
    • Integrated Visualization of Morphologic and Perfusion Data for the Analysis of Coronary Artery Disease 

      Oeltze, S.; Kuß, A.; Grothues, F.; Hennemuth, A.; Preim, B. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      We present static and dynamic techniques to visualize perfusion data and to relate perfusion data to morphologic image data. In particular, we describe the integrated analysis of MRI myocardial perfusion data with CT ...
    • Path Line Oriented Topology for Periodic 2D Time-Dependent Vector Fields 

      Shi, K.; Theisel, H.; Weinkauf, T.; Hauser, H.; Hege, H.-C.; Seidel, H.-P. (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      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 ...

      Laramee, Robert S.; Garth, Christoph; Schneider, Jürgen; Hauser, Helwig (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Stream surfaces are a classic flow visualization technique used to portray the characteristics of vector fields, and texture advection research has made rapid advances in recent years. We present a novel hybrid visualization ...

    • Direct Isosurface Extraction from Scattered Volume Data 

      Rosenthal, Paul; Linsen, Lars (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Isosurface extraction is a standard visualization method for scalar volume data and has been subject to research for decades. Nevertheless, to our knowledge, no isosurface extraction method exists that directly extracts ...
    • Knowledge-Based Out-of-Core Algorithms for Data Management in Visualization 

      Chisnall, David; Chen, Min; Hansen, Charles (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
      Data management is the very first issue in handling very large datasets. Many existing out-of-core algorithms used in visualization are closely coupled with application-specific logic. This paper presents two knowledgebased ...
    • Terrain Rendering using Spherical Clipmaps 

      Clasen, Malte; Hege, Hans-Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2006)
