Advances in simulations, combined with technological developments in high-performance computing, have made it possible to produce a physically accurate dynamic representation of complex biological systems involving millions to billions of atoms over increasingly long simulation times. The analysis of these computed simulations is crucial, involving...

Immersive technologies like stereo rendering, virtual reality, or augmented reality (AR) are often used in the field of molecular visualisation. Modern, comparably lightweight and affordable AR headsets like Microsoft’s HoloLens open up new possibilities for immersive analytics in molecular visualisation. A crucial factor for a comprehensive analys...
In the field of the architectural heritage, documentation analysis and organisation are vital to the researcher when trying to understand the evolution of edifices and sites. Documentary sources provide partial evidences from which one will infer possible scenarios on how an edifice may have changed throughout the centuries. But the growing mass of...

The main difference between multi-volume rendering and mono-volume rendering is data intermixing. In this paper, we present three levels of data intermixing and their rendering pipelines in direct multi-volume rendering, which discriminate image level intensity intermixing, accumulation level opacity intermixing, and illumination model level parame...
Sophisticated visualization enables experts as well as lay persons to extract knowlegde from complex data. This is particularly true for visualising the massive amounts of data involved in meteorological observations and simulations. These are of interest to scientists, to forecasters, and to the general public. The paper presents and discusses a r...
The International Network of Institutions for advanced education, training and R&D in Computer Graphics technology, systems and applications (INI-GraphicsNet) is the largest research unit world-wide entirely dedicated to the field of Computer Graphics. The network's institutions are located in Darmstadt (Germany), Frankfurt (Germany), Rostock (Germ...
This paper presents the concepts and realization of the Easi²Vis system which incorporates user modeling in a Web-based on-demand scientific visualization service. Using the latest Web technologies, the user can requset very individual images or animations which will beproduced exclusively for him/her on the fly by a a graphics server. By means of ...

Two techniques are presented for specifying seed points, which are the starting points for streamlines, in an irregular volume. One is an interactive seed specification technique, in which efficient data probing is achieved by traversing the adjacency graph of the volume. The other is an automatic seed specification technique. A seed point is place...
Scientific Visualizations are important to scientists and engineers in many fields, but also to managers and to the general public. In order to achieve good results there have to be means to evaluate the quality of visualizations and to compare visualizations to each other. In this paper, after a short introduction and an overview of some related w...
