This work enriches the visualization of complex graphs from the biomedical domain called metabolic pathways by means of interactive linked views in 2D and 3D. Due to the high degree of complexity of pathways biologists are restrained by currently available systems in the process of hypothesis generation and validation. We propose an interactive visual data mining process that is supported by th...

In this paper, we report about the design and implementation of a new interactive animation system. The system is based on the idea that all objects occurring in animation sequences should have two views:the structural view and the shape view. Using our system, the animator can create the two views simultaneously without programming and can manipulate objects by sending messages. Thus, the syst...

Image-based rendering is a method to synthesize novel views from a set of given real images. This contribution describes two methods to extrapolate novel views of complex scenes with occlusions and large depth discontinuities from images of a moving uncalibrated multi-camera rig. The real camera viewpoints are calibrated from the image data and dense depth maps are estimated for each real view....

Conventional approaches to gender classification much rely on a large scale of labeled data, which is normally hard and expensive to obtain. In this paper, we propose a co-training approach to address this problem in gender classification. Specifically, we employ both non-interactive and interactive texts, i.e., the message and comment texts, as two different views in our cotraining approach to...

We design an interactive stack in the setting of stream processing functions. The design passes through a series of abstraction levels relating different views of the stack component. The external view describes the component’s input/output behaviour, the transition view captures the stepwise transitions, and the state-based view discloses the internal structure. The different descriptions can ...

In this work, we visualize high-dimensional particle simulation data using a suite of scatterplot-based visualizations coupled with interactive selection tools. We use traditional 2D and 3D projection scatterplots as well as a novel oriented-disk rendering style to convey various information about the data. Interactive selection tools allow physicists to manually classify “interesting” sets of ...

The ability to be changeable is inherent to software — in fact, this is what defines it as being “soft”. The long-term management of large software systems depends on the ability of a system to be “easy” to maintain and evolve. In contrast to commonly presented views, we define three ways to look at evolvability. First, it can be considered to be a quality property, and must therefore be subjec...

Multi-touch surfaces enable multi-hand and multi-person direct manipulation interfaces. However, they lack haptic feedback. Tangible interfaces (TUIs) are a promising approach to this issue but most are special-purpose with fixed physical and visual appearance. This chapter provides an overview of recent work to add haptic feedback to interactive surfaces, including haptic and tactile displays,...
