    • DTI Visualization with Streamsurfaces and Evenly-Spaced Volume Seeding 

      Vilanova, A.; Berenschot, G.; Pul, C. van (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Experimental evidence has shown that water diffusion is anisotropic in organized tissues such as white matter or muscles. Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a non-invasive MR technique that measures water diffusion. DTI is used ...
    • A Cluster-Space Visual Interface for Arbitrary Dimensional Classification of Volume Data 

      Tzeng, Fan-Yin; Ma, Kwan-Liu (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In volume visualization, users typically specify transfer functions to classify the data and assign visual attributes to each material class. Higher-dimensional classification makes it easier to differentiate material ...
    • Ray Casting Curved-Quadratic Elements 

      Wiley, D. F.; Childs, H. R.; Hamann, B.; Joy, K. I. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a method for ray casting curved-quadratic elements in 3D. The advantages of this approach is that a curved element can be directly visualized. Conventionally, higher-order elements are tessellated with several ...
    • Volume Visualization and Visual Queries for Large High-Dimensional Datasets 

      Reina, G.; Ertl, T. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We propose a flexible approach for the visualization of large, high-dimensional datasets. The raw, highdimensional data is mapped into an abstract 3D distance space using the FastMap algorithm, which helps, together with ...
    • Visual Component Analysis 

      Müller, Wolfgang; Alexa, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We propose to integrate information visualization techniques with factor analysis. Specifically, a principal direction derived from a principal component analysis (PCA) of the data is displayed together with the data in a ...
    • Efficient Isosurface Tracking Using Precomputed Correspondence Table 

      Ji, Guangfeng; Shen, Han-Wei (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Feature tracking is a useful method for visualizing and analyzing time-varying scalar fields. It allows scientists to focus on regions of interest and track their evolution and interaction over time. To allow the user to ...
    • Visualization of Anatomic Tree Structures with Convolution Surfaces 

      Oeltze, S.; Preim, B. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a method for visualizing anatomic tree structures, such as vasculature and bronchial trees based on clinical CT- or MR data. The vessel skeleton as well as the diameter information per voxel serve as input. Our ...
    • Medical Applications of Multi-Field Volume Rendering and VR Techniques 

      Kniss, Joe; Schulze, Jürgen P.; Wössner, Uwe; Winkler, Peter; Lang, Ulrich; Hansen, Charles (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper reports on a new approach for visualizing multi-field MRI or CT datasets in an immersive environment with medical applications. Multi-field datasets combine multiple scanning modalities into a single 3D, ...
    • A Botanically Inspired High-Dimensional Visualization with Multivariate Glyphs 

      Chlan, E. B.; Rheingans, Penny (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      It is difficult for the average viewer to assimilate and comprehend huge amounts of high-dimensional data. It is important to present data in a way that allows the user a high level understanding of the overall organization ...
    • Visualising Organisms with Hydraulic Body Parts: A Case Study in Integrating Simulation and Visualisation Models 

      Breiner, T.; Dörner, R.; Seiler, C.; Gudo, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The physical structure of organisms can be modelled as a set of coupled hydraulic entities. The hydropneumatic biosimulation is a methodology that is able to simulate the behavior (like movements) of such organisms on the ...
    • Efficient Display of Background Objects for Virtual Endoscopy using Flexible First-Hit Ray Casting 

      Neubauer, A.; Forster, M.; Wegenkittl, R.; Mroz, L.; Bühler, K. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Many applications of virtual endoscopy require the display of background objects behind the semi-transparent surface of the investigated organ. This paper deals with pre-processing and visualization of background objects ...
