Direct volume rendering of scalar fields uses a transfer function to map locally measured
data properties to opacities and colors. The domain of the transfer function is typically the …

One of the most important goals in volume rendering is to be able to visually separate and
selectively enable specific objects of interest contained in a single volumetric data set, which …

Simulating hand-drawn illustration can succinctly express information in a manner that is
communicative and informative. We present a framework for an interactive direct stipple …

Volume illustration is a developing trend in volume visualization, focused on conveying
volume information effectively by enhancing interesting features of the volume and omitting …

The article introduces volumetric hatching, a novel technique that produces pen-and-ink-
style images from medical volume data. Unlike previous approaches that generate full …

In this paper, we present a novel visualization technique-kinetic visualization-that uses
motion along a surface to aid in the perception of 3D shape and structure of static objects …

The programmability and texture support of consumer graphics accelerators have drawn a
lot of attention from visualization researchers, resulting in some very important advances in …

Flow visualization has been a very attractive part of visualization research for a long time.
Usually very large datasets need to be processed, which often consist of multivariate data …

In computer graphics, silhouette finding and rendering has a central role in a growing
number of applications. The silhouette is the simplest form of line art and is used in cartoons …

The interpretation of 3D scalar fields is considerably difficult because of their intrinsic
complexity. In the context of this thesis the term volume rendering refers to the visualization …
