The output of 3D volume segmentation is crucial to a wide range of endeavors. Producing accurate segmentations often proves to be both inefficient and challenging, in part due to lack of imaging data quality (contrast and resolution), and because of ...
A Comparative Study on Inter-Device Interaction: One-Handed Interaction VS Two-Handed Interaction
Using mobile devices to collaborate with other users on a large shared screen supports collaborative tasks and prevents interference among users. Various intuitive gestures have been proposed to support interaction across a tabletop and a mobile device. ...
What Makes You Think This Is a Map?: Suggestions for Creating Map-like Visualisations
Maps have traditionally been used for representing the surface of the earth and for displaying geographical information. Apart from this obvious purpose, the metaphor of maps has been applied to other uses as well, such as information visualisation and ...
How People Deploy Dimensional Information to Estimate Relative Values
A high quality decision-making requires accurate estimations of relative values. When one estimates relative values relying on visual stimuli, perceptual bias may weaken the accuracy and bring about risks. This research explores how people estimate ...
Do Defaults Matter?: Evaluating the Effect of Defaults on User Preference for Multi-Class Scatterplots
With the increasing availability and popularity of visualization tools, it is easier than ever to create visual representations of data. The available tools and libraries work for a range of users from non-programmers to those with significant ...
Visual Analysis of User-Driven Association Rule Mining
Association rules have been widely used for detecting relations between attribute-value pairs of categorical datasets. Existing solutions of mining interesting association rules are based on the support-confidence theory. However, it is non-trivial for ...
Supporting Collaborative Political Decision Making: An Interactive Policy Process Visualization System
The process of political decision making is often complex and tedious. The policy process consists of multiple steps, most of them are highly iterative. In addition, different stakeholder groups are involved in political decision making and contribute ...
Spatiotemporal Analytics of Topic Trajectory
Spatially and temporally relevant text data generated on the Internet by users worldwide is of great value for investigating and understanding emerging trends of user interests and how they may evolve over time and space. However, exploring the ...
A Hybrid Approach for Event Social Influence Visualization
Social network is rapidly growing to be a major platform for the dissemination of breaking events. Numerous studies focus on the user's influence in different types of social network and visualize user and event propagation process. However, little ...
Adaptively Tiled Image Mosaics Utilizing Measures of Color and Region Entropy
Image mosaicing involves splitting an input image into a set of tiles, then replacing each tile with another image from a large dataset so that, when viewed from a distance, the resulting image resembles the original. We present a new approach for ...
Generation of Miro's Surrealism
In this paper, we present a programmed experiment and the results on automatic generation of Joan Miro style of surrealism. Combining the artist's aesthetic theory with the authors' own understanding, the paper analyzes the characteristics of Miro's ...
