    Co, Christopher S.; Friedman, Alex; Grote, David P.; Vay, Jean-Luc; Bethel, E. Wes; Joy, Kenneth I. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    In this work, we visualize high-dimensional particle simulation data using a suite of scatterplot-based visualizations coupled with interactive selection tools. We use traditional 2D and 3D projection scatterplots as well ...
  • Extending and Simplifying Transfer Function Design in Medical Volume Rendering Using Local Histograms 

    Lundström, Claes; Ljung, Patric; Ynnerman, Anders (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is known to be of diagnostic value in the analysis of medical data sets. However, its deployment in everyday clinical use has so far been limited. Two major challenges are that the current ...
  • Discovering High-level Parameters for Visualization Design 

    Bhagavatula, Srinivas; Rheingans, Penny; Jardins, Marie des (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    In most graphics and visualization applications, the effects of the mapping parameters on the output domain are multidimensional, non-linear and discontinuous. The complexity of such mapping often makes it difficult for a ...
  • Mail Explorer - Spatial and Temporal Exploration of Electronic Mail 

    Keim, Daniel A.; Mansmann, Florian; Panse, Christian; Schneidewind, Jörn; Sips, Mike (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    In today s world, e-mail has become one of the most important means of communication in business and private lives due to its efficiency. However, the problems start as soon as mail volumes go beyond the scope of human ...
  • MoireTrees: Visualization and Interaction for Multi-Hierarchical Data 

    Mohammadi-Aragh, Mahnas Jean; Jankun-Kelly, T. J. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    Visualizing hierarchical data is one of the core areas of information visualization. Most of these techniques focus on single hierarchies hierarchies with a single root element and a single path to each element. In contrast, ...
  • Spline-Based Gradient Filters For High-Quality Refraction Computations in Discrete Datasets 

    Li, Shengying; Mueller, Klaus (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    Based on the finding that refraction imposes significantly higher demands onto gradient filters than illumination and shading, we evaluate the family of spline filters as a good alternative to the cubic filters, which so ...
  • Version-Centric Visualization of Code Evolution 

    Voinea, S. Lucian; Telea, Alexandru; Chaudron, Michel (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    The source code of software systems changes many times during the system lifecycle. We study how developers can get insight in these changes in order to understand the project context and the product artifacts. For this ...
  • Visualisation and Analysis of Large and Complex Scale-free Networks 

    Ahmed, Adel; Dywer, Tim; Hong, Seok-Hee; Murray, Colin; Song, Le; Wu, Ying Xin (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    Scale-free networks appear in many application domains such as social and biological networks [BA99, BB03, BO04]. Roughly speaking, scale-free networks have power-law degree distribution, ultra-short average path length ...
  • Visualization of Computer-Modeled Forests for Forest Management 

    Mohammadi-Aragh, Mahnas Jean; Fujisaki, Ikuko; Irby, Derek; Evans, David; Moorhead, Robert; Roberts, Scott (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    Forest management is a costly and time-consuming activity. Remote sensing has the potential to improve the process by making it cheaper and more efficient, but only if appropriate characteristics can be determined from ...
  • Non-manifold Mesh Extraction from Time-varying Segmented Volumes used for Modeling a Human Heart 

    Bertram, Martin; Reis, Gerd; Lengen, Rolf H. van; Köhn, Sascha; Hagen, Hans (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    We present a new algorithm extracting and fairing surfaces from segmented volumes composed of multiple materials. In a first pass, the material boundaries in the volume are smoothed considering signed distance functions ...
  • Isosurface Extraction Using Fixed-Sized Buckets 

    Waters, Kenneth W.; Co, Christopher S.; Joy, Kenneth I. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
    We present a simple and output optimal algorithm for accelerated isosurface extraction from volumetric data sets. Output optimal extraction algorithms perform an amount of work dominated by the size of the (output) isosurface ...
