Visualizing low-dimensional non-linear manifolds underlying high-dimensional data is a challenging data analysis problem. Different manifold visualization methods can be characterized by the associated definitions of ...

Cartographic design requires controllable methods and tools to produce maps that are adapted to users' needs and preferences. The formalized rules and constraints for cartographic representation come mainly from the ...

Animations which show three dimensional volumes continuously changing over time facilitate the exploration and analysis of complex data sets such as calcium image data of neural activity and phase contrast magnetic resonance ...

With the advent of the Microsoft Kinect, renewed focus has been put on monocular depth-based motion capturing. However, this approach is limited in that an actor has to move facing the camera. Due to the active light nature ...

Learning expressive curve styles from example is crucial for interactive or computer-based narrative illustrations. We propose a method for online synthesis of free-hand drawing styles along arbitrary base paths by means ...

The interactive visualization of molecular surfaces can help users to understand the dynamic behavior of proteins in molecular dynamics simulations. These simulations play an important role in biochemical and pharmaceutical ...

We present a novel massively-parallel algorithm that allows real-time distance computations between arbitrary 3D objects and unstructured point cloud data. Our main application scenario is collision avoidance for robots ...

Today, in many spheres of human activity, massive amounts of data are collected and stored. As the volumes of data available to lawmakers, civil servants, business people and scientists increase, their effective use ...

Modern geometric reconstruction techniques achieve impressive levels of accuracy in indoor environments. However, such captured data typically keeps lighting and materials entangled. It is then impossible to manipulate the ...
