Visual Analytics for Exploring Local Impact of Air Traffic

The environmental and noise impact of airports often causes extensive political discussion which in some cases even lead to transnational tensions. Analyzing local approach and departure patterns around an airport is difficult... Read more »

Edge-Aware Volume Smoothing Using L0 Gradient Minimization

In volume visualization, noise in regions of homogeneous material and at boundaries between different materials poses a great challenge in extracting, analyzing and rendering features of interest. In this paper, we present... Read more »

Visual Analysis of Proximal Temporal Relationships of Social and Communicative Behaviors

Developmental psychology researchers examine the temporal relationships of social and communicative behaviors, such as how a child responds to a name call, to understand early typical and atypical development and to discover... Read more »

Interactive Fusion and Tracking For Multi-Modal Spatial Data Visualization

Scientific data acquired through sensors which monitor natural phenomena, as well as simulation data that imitate time-identified events, have fueled the need for interactive techniques to successfully analyze and understand trends and... Read more »

Dual Adjacency Matrix: Exploring Link Groups in Dense Networks

Node grouping is a common way of adding structure and information to networks that aids their interpretation. However, certain networks benefit from the grouping of links instead of nodes. Link communities, for... Read more »

Small MultiPiles: Piling Time to Explore Temporal Patterns in Dynamic Networks

We introduce MultiPiles, a visualization to explore time-series of dense, weighted networks. MultiPiles is based on the physical analogy of piling adjacency matrices, each one representing a single temporal snapshot. Common interfaces... Read more »

Learning Probabilistic Transfer Functions: A Comparative Study of Classifiers

Complex volume rendering tasks require high-dimensional transfer functions, which are notoriously difficult to design. One solution to this is to learn transfer functions from scribbles that the user places in the volumetric... Read more »

Persistent Homology for the Evaluation of Dimensionality Reduction Schemes

High-dimensional data sets are a prevalent occurrence in many application domains. This data is commonly visualized using dimensionality reduction (DR) methods. DR methods provide e.g. a two-dimensional embedding of the abstract data... Read more »

Interactive Visual Analysis for Vehicle Detector Data

Visualization of vehicle detection (VD) data is essential because the data play an important role in traffic control and policy development. Most previous works focus on visualizing trajectories obtained from global positioning... Read more »

Visualization of Particle-based Data with Transparency and Ambient Occlusion

Particle-based simulation techniques, like the discrete element method or molecular dynamics, are widely used in many research fields. In real-time explorative visualization it is common to render the resulting data using opaque... Read more »
