If you have ever watched movies or television shows, you know how easy it is to tell the good characters from the bad ones. Little, however, is known “whether” or “how” com...
Multistage residual vector quantizers (RVQ) with optimal direct sum decoder codebooks have been successfully designed and implemented for data compression. Due to its multistage s...
Figure 1: RBF reconstruction of unstructured CFD data. (a) Volume rendering of 1,943,383 tetrahedral shock data set using 2,932 RBF functions. (b) Volume rendering of a 156,642 te...
In order to make direct volume rendering practicable convenient visualization options and data analysis tools have to be integrated. For example, direct rendering of semi-transpar...
We present a robust, noise-resistant criterion characterizing planelike skeletons in binary voxel objects. It is based on a distance map and the geodesic distance along the object...
