Information Visualization (InfoVis) focuses on the use of visualization techniques to help people understand and analyze data. While related fields such as Scientific Visualization involve the presentation of data that has some physical or geometric correspondence, Information Visualization centers on abstract information without such correspondences. One important aim of this seminar was to br...

In this research, we present our MetaViz project that was initiated to investigate software visualization issues in the context of novel modeling and visualization techniques. The focus of our research is the visualization of software structures and their dynamic behavior using 3D visualization techniques. Rather than applying traditional 2D visualization techniques and transfer these to the 3D...

IVPrototype is an Information Visualization Prototype for the visualization of both geometrical and non-geometrical data. Our goal is to provide a generic system that automatically generates data visualization and dynamically adapts the interface according to the data in order to control the amount of information displayed. The information is organized in one or several information groups, whic...

Salience detection is a principle mechanism to facilitate visual attention. A good visualization guides the observer’s attention to the relevant aspects of the representation. Hence, the distribution of salience over a visualization image is an essential measure of the quality of the visualization. We describe a method for computing such a metric for a visualization image in the context of a gi...

introduction: various computer assisted medical procedures such as dental implant, orthodontic planning, face, jaw and cosmetic surgeries require automatic quantification and volumetric visualization of teeth. in this regard, segmentation is a major step. material and methods: in this paper, inspired by our previous experiences and considering the anatomical knowledge of teeth and jaws, we prop...

introduction:visualization of inner ear structures is a valuable strategy for researchers and clinicians working on hearing pathologies. optical coherence tomography (oct) is a high-resolution imaging technology which may be used for the visualization of tissues. in this experimental study we aimed to evaluate inner ear anatomy in well-prepared human labyrinthine bones.materials and methods:thr...

generally speaking, lexical items that enter our minds through reading a text commonly leave us with pictures, sounds, echoes, and feelings in the mind. while the ability to produce images in the mind in the process of reading appears to be vital for greater comprehension and recall of texts, research has indicated that many poor readers seemingly do not visualize as they read. on the contrary,...
