• Procedural Shape Generation for Multi-dimensional Data Visualization 

  Ebert, David S.; Rohrer, Randall M.; Shaw, Christopher D.; Panda, Pradyut; Kulda, James M.; Roberts, D. Aaron (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Visualization of multi-dimensional data is a challenging task. The goal is not the display of multiple data dimensions, but user comprehension of the multi-dimensional data. This paper explores several techniques for ...

• Real-Time Maximum Intensity Projection 

  Mroz, Lukas; König, Andreas; Gröller, Eduard (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) is a volume rendering technique which is used to extract high-intensity structures from volumetric data. At each pixel the highest data value encountered along the corresponding viewing ...

• Visualization of Grinding Processes 

  Fiege, Markus; Scheuermann, Gerik; Münchhofen, Michael; Hagen, Hans (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  In grinding technology, the application ofsupcrabrasivcs and increasing demands for higher productivity and higher quality require an appropriate selection of optimum set-up parameters. An efficient way to determine and ...

• VISSION: An Object Oriented Dataflow System for Simulation and Visualization 

  Telea, Alexandru; Wijk, Jarke J. van (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Scientific visualization and simulation speciification and monitoring are sometimes addressed by object-oriented environments. Even though object orientation powerfully and elegantly models many application domains, ...

• Visualization of Molecules with Positional Uncertainty 

  Rheingans, Penny; Joshi, Shrikant (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Designing new and better chemotherapeutic wmpounds requires an understanding of the mechanism by which the drugs exert their biological effects. This involves consideration of the geometry of the active site, determination ...

• VIVENDI - A Virtual Endoscopy System for Virtual Medicine 

  Bartz, Dirk; Skalej, Martin (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  Virtual Medicine is an emerging and challenging field in Computer Graphics. Numerous visualization methods are used to model and render data of different modalities. In this paper, we present a new endoscopy system for ...

• Visualization by Examples: Mapping Data to Visual Representations using Few Correspondences 

  Alexa, Marc; Müller, Wolfgang (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  In this paper we propose a new approach for the generation of visual scales for the visualization of scalar and multivariate data. Based on the specification of only a few correspondences between the data set and elements ...

• Visualization of Global Flow Structures Using Multiple Levels of Topology 

  Leeuw, Wim de; Liere, Robert van (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)

  The technique for visualizing topological information in fluid flows is well known. However, when the technique is used in complex and information rich data sets, the result will be a cluttered image which is difficult to ...

• Skeletal Images as Visual Cues in Graph Visualization 

  Herman, I.; Marshall, M.S.; Melancon, G.; Duke, D.J.; Delest, M.; Domenger, J.-P. (Springer and The Eurographics Association, 1999)
