Structural Analysis of Multivariate Point Clouds Using Simplicial Chains

Topological and geometrical methods constitute common tools for the analysis of high-dimensional scientific data sets. Geometrical methods such as projection algorithms focus on preserving distances in the data set. Topological methods such... Read more »

Visual Analysis of Trajectories in Multi-Dimensional State Spaces

Multi-dimensional data originate from many different sources and are relevant for many applications. One specific sub-type of such data is continuous trajectory data in multi-dimensional state spaces of complex systems. We adapt... Read more »

Adaptive Surface Visualization of Vessels with Animated Blood Flow

The investigation of hemodynamic information for the assessment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) gained importance in recent years. Improved flow measuring modalities and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations yield in reliable blood flow... Read more »

PackMerger: A 3D Print Volume Optimizer

We propose an optimization framework for 3D printing that seeks to save printing time and the support material required to print 3D shapes. Three-dimensional printing technology is rapidly maturing and may revolutionize... Read more »

Real-Time Modelling of Fibrous Muscle

Relatively recently it has become apparent that providing human kind with a better healthcare requires personalized, predictive and integrative medicine, for which the building of virtual physiological human (VPH) framework accessible via... Read more »

Robust Treatment of Degenerate Elements in Interactive Corotational FEM Simulations

We address the problem of robust and efficient treatment of element collapse and inversion in corotational FEM simulations of deformable objects in two and three dimensions, and show that existing degeneration treatment... Read more »

Continuous Levels-of-Detail and Visual Abstraction for Seamless Molecular Visualization

Molecular visualization is often challenged with rendering of large molecular structures in real time. We introduce a novel approach that enables us to show even large protein complexes. Our method is based... Read more »
