In this paper, we examine whether or not information theory can be one of the theoretic
frameworks for visualization. We formulate concepts and measurements for qualifying visual …

Written by leading researchers, the 2nd Edition of the Dictionary of Computer Vision & Image
Processing is a comprehensive and reliable resource which now provides explanations of …

The process of visualization can be seen as a visual communication channel where the
input to the channel is the raw data, and the output is the result of a visualization algorithm …

Optimal viewpoint selection is an important task because it considerably influences the
amount of information contained in the 2D projected images of 3D objects, and thus …

In the last decade a new family of methods, namely Image‐Based Rendering, has appeared.
These techniques rely on the use of precomputed images to totally or partially substitute the …

In fields ranging from technical illustration to mapmaking, artists have developed distinctive
visual styles designed to convey both detail and overall shape as clearly as possible. We …

In recent years, there is an emerging direction that leverages information theory to solve
many challenging problems in scientific data analysis and visualization. In this article, we …

This survey provides an overview of perceptually motivated techniques for the visualization
of medical image data, including physics‐based lighting techniques as well as illustrative …

In this paper, we present an abstract model of visualization and inference processes, and
describe an information-theoretic measure for optimizing such processes. In order to obtain …

The exploration of complex walkthrough models is often a difficult task due to the presence
of densely occluded regions which pose a serious challenge to online navigation. In this …
