Computation of good viewpoints is important in several fields: computational geometry,
visual servoing, robot motion, graph drawing, etc. In addition, selection of good views is …

Global illumination research aiming at the photo-realistic image synthesis pushes forward
research in computer graphics as a whole. The computation of visually plausible images is …

This article details a two-step method of quantifying eye movement transitions between
areas of interest (AOIs). First, individuals' gaze switching patterns, represented by fixated …

All self-respecting nonlinear scientists know self-organization when they see it: except when
we disagree. For this reason, if no other, it is important to put some mathematical spine into …

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 …

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 …

Viewpoint selection is an emerging area in computer graphics with applications in fields
such as scene exploration, image-based modeling, and volume visualization. In particular …

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 …

Information theory provides a theoretical framework for measuring information content for an
observed variable, and has attracted much attention from visualization researchers for its …

In this paper we present a framework to define transfer functions from a target distribution
provided by the user. A target distribution can reflect the data importance, or highly relevant …
