Fiber Surfaces: Generalizing Isosurfaces to Bivariate Data

Scientific visualization has many effective methods for examining and exploring scalar and vector fields, but rather fewer for bivariate fields. We report the first general purpose approach for the interactive extraction of... Read more »

Photoelasticity Raycasting

We present a novel physically-based method to visualize stress tensor fields. By incorporating photoelasticity into traditional raycasting and extending it with reflection and refraction, taking into account polarization, we obtain the virtual... Read more »

VIMTEX: A Visualization Interface for Multivariate, Time-Varying, Geological Data Exploration

Observing interactions among chemical species and microorganisms in the earth's sub-surface is a common task in the field of geology. Bioremediation experiments constitute one such class of interactions which focus on getting... Read more »

Cell lineage visualisation

Cell lineages describe the developmental history of Cell populations and are produced by combining time-lapse imaging and image processing. Biomedical researchers study Cell lineages to understand fundamental processes such as Cell differentiation... Read more »

Visualization of Coherent Structures of Light Transport

Inspired by vector field topology, an established tool for the extraction and identification of important features of flows and vector fields, we develop means for the analysis of the structure of light... Read more »

MoleCollar and Tunnel Heat Map Visualizations for Conveying Spatio-Temporo-Chemical Properties Across and Along Protein Voids

Studying the characteristics of proteins and their inner void space, including their geometry, physico-chemical properties and dynamics are instrumental for evaluating the reactivity of the protein with other small molecules. The analysis... Read more »

Map-based Visualizations Increase Recall Accuracy of Data

We investigate the memorability of data represented in two different visualization designs. In contrast to recent studies that examine which types of visual information make visualizations memorable, we examine the effect of... Read more »

Towards a smooth design process for static communicative node-link diagrams

Node-link infographics are visually very rich and can communicate messages effectively, but can be very difficult to create, often involving a painstaking and artisanal process. In this paper we present an investigation... Read more »

A Shot at Visual Vulnerability Analysis

Increasing the safety of vehicles is an important goal for vehicle manufacturers. These manufacturers often turn to simulations to understand how to improve a vehicle's design as real-world safety tests are expensive... Read more »
