Visualization and visual analysis play important roles in exploring, analyzing, and
presenting scientific data. In many disciplines, data and model scenarios are becoming …

A central topic in scientific visualization is the transfer function (TF) for volume rendering.
The TF serves a fundamental role in translating scalar and multivariate data into color and …

Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques
and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes …

With the increasing availability of high-resolution isotropic three-or four-dimensional medical
datasets from sources such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and …

In this paper, we propose a volume visualization system that accepts direct manipulation
through a sketch-based What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) approach. Similar to the …

We present a technique which automatically converts a small number of single-view volume
rendered images of the same 3D data set into a compact representation of that data set. This …

Volume rendering techniques have been developed for decades and have been widely
applied in many research fields, such as medical image visualization, geological …

Transfer functions facilitate the volumetric data visualization by assigning optical properties
to various data features and scalar values. Automation of transfer function specifications still …

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease constituted by the delamination
of the aortic wall. Due to the weakened structure of the false lumen, the aorta often dilates …

Interactivity is key to exploration of volume data. Interactivity may be hindered due to many
factors, eg large data size, high resolution or complexity of a data set, or an expensive …
