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 …

This paper presents algorithms and a prototype system for hand tracking and hand posture
recognition. Hand postures are represented in terms of hierarchies of multi-scale colour …

This tutorial describes the geometry and algorithms for generating line drawings from 3D
models, focusing on occluding contours. The geometry of occluding contours on meshes …

Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in
medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the …

In this state‐of‐the‐art report we discuss relevant research works related to the visualization
of complex, multi‐variate data. We discuss how different techniques take effect at specific …

Illustrative volume visualization frequently employs non‐photorealistic rendering techniques
to enhance important features or to suppress unwanted details. However, it is difficult to …

We present a technique for the illustrative rendering of 3D line data at interactive frame
rates. We create depth-dependent halos around lines to emphasize tight line bundles while …

Volumetric data commonly has high depth complexity which makes it difficult to judge spatial
relationships accurately. There are many different ways to enhance depth perception, such …

We introduce a flexible combination of volume, surface, and line rendering. We employ
object-based edge detection because this allows a flexible parametrization of the generated …

Renderings of volumetric data have become an important data analysis tool for applications
ranging from medicine to scientific simulation. We propose a volumetric drawing system that …
