Color enhancement of multispectral images is useful to visualize the image's spectral features. Previously, a color enhancement method, which enhances the feature of a specified spectral band without changing the average color distribution, was proposed. However, sometimes the enhanced features are indiscernible or invisible, especially when the enhanced spectrum lies outside the visible range....

This study investigated how the addition of enhanced perceptual detail in a navigation interface interacts with learner characteristics and ultimately impacts learning; specifically memory for a route on a map. Previous research has shown both facilitative and prohibitive effect of adding perceptual detail to user interfaces. However, it is not clear how adding this kind of resolution might als...

This paper considers the needs of financial brokers seeking to use information visualization to transform raw data in a data warehouse into enhanced insight, so as to identify marketing opportunities and better inform their clients. We introduce a model of the visualization process, called RoutePlanner, which was developed from a theoretical perspective. RoutePlanner comprises guidelines and st...

BACKGROUND A 3 Tesla (3 T) magnetic resonance (MR) scanner is a promising tool for upper abdominal angiography. However, no report has focused on the contrast behavior of non-contrast-enhanced hepatic MR arteriography at 3 T. PURPOSE To establish the optimal inversion time (TI) for favorable selective visualization of the hepatic arteries on non-contrast-enhanced MR arteriography with time sp...

Dynamic network visualization has been a challenging topic for dynamic networks analysis, especially for spatially embedded networks like brain networks. In this paper, we present an animated interactive visualization design that combines enhanced node-link diagrams and distance matrix layouts to assist neuroscientists in their exploration of dynamic brain networks and that enables them to unde...

This paper introduces the application of the visualization technology in the USA environmental consulting industry for site characterization, remedial programs, and litigation support. As a tool visualization allows environmental data that is three-dimensional and transient in nature to be accurately documented, efficiently represented, and effectively communicated to both professionals and the...

Media companies aggressively compete for their share of the pay-per-view television market. Such share can only be kept or improved by avoiding customer defection, or churn. The analysis of customers’ data should provide insight into customers’ behavior over time and help preventing churn. Data visualization can be part of this analysis. Here, a database of pay-per-view television customers is ...

In this paper, we describe an approach to combining a reservoir simulation with 3-D visualization and virtual reality technology.

The purpose of this vision paper is to identify how data visualization could transform healthcare. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are maturing with new technology and tools being applied. Researchers are reaping the benefits of data visualization to better access compilations of EHR data for enhanced clinical research. Data visualization, while still primarily the domain of clinical researche...

In recent years, visualization has become an increasingly important tool to support exploration and analysis of larger volumes of data. Still, the interests of the users are only rarely considered. Therefore, it is the goal of this thesis to shift the needs of users into the focus. For doing so, an event-based approach to visualization is pursued. This approach allows users to specify their int...
