Visualization of topological information of a vector field can provide useful information on the structure of the field. However, in turbulent flows standard critical point visualization will result in a cluttered image which is difficult to interpret. This paper presents a technique for collapsing topologies. The governing idea is to classify the importance of the critical points in the topology. By only displaying the more important critical points, a simplified depiction of the topology can be provided. Flow consistency is maintained when collapsing the topology, resulting in a visualization which is consistent with the original topology. We apply the collapsing topology technique to a turbulent flow field.

In the olden days, many tools and technologies require the usage of human power. Therefore, the technologies will be more efficient if more people cooperate to use them. This is in contrast with today's technologies, many of which are designed to be operated by one person only. This paper presents the initial phase of a project that concerns the design and development of a technology which creates a necessity for people to cooperate. By using such a technology in a public space, it is hoped that a sense of community, as defined by the traditional Malay ways, can be revived. A technology probe called 'Kelembai Walk', which will be used in a participatory design process, is developed based on Presumptive Design. 'Kelembai Walk' is a multimedia application that uses pestles and mortars as interface devices. It will be displayed in an educational exhibition.

Home computer users are just now discovering computergraphics. Modest extensions to BASIC allow plotting but not much more. The Bally Home Library computer, however, has hardware to aid implementation of video games. Custom integrated circuits working on a 160×102 pixel (2 bits per pixel) color television screen allow certain forms of animation in real time. To give this power to the user, BASIC Zgrass has been designed and implemented. It is an extension of BASIC that allows parallel processes, picture objects that move, scale and group together as well as several drawing modes. There are also software controls of a three-voice music synthesizer, interactive input devices, a film camera and an IEEE bus interface. We will concentrate mainly on the language design for making it all easy to learn and use.

In researching the communication mechanisms between cells of the immune system, visualization of proteins in three dimensions can be used to determine which proteins are capable of interacting with one another at a given time by showing their spatial colocality. Volume data sets are created using digital confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. A variety of visualization approaches are then used to examine the interactions. These include volume rendering, isosurface extraction, and virtual reality. Based on our experiences, we have concluded that no single one of these approaches provides a complete solution for visualizing biological data. However, in combination, their respective strengths complement one another to provide an understanding of the data.

The Pennsylvania State University Computation Center is currently performing research and development in providing an effective research and training support environment which enables a user, whether researcher or student, to become familiar with an available base of graphics hardware and software support and to proceed to original programming with confidence and *** main consideration is to provide an interactive programming environment in which users can become self-sufficient in coping with both hardware operation and potential as well as effective utilization of software in a reasonably short period of time. Such users should not have to be computergraphics specialists to apply a graphics system to their fields of expertise. Users should be thoroughly trained to understand and handle an available hardware/software system in order to be better able to evaluate the potential system usage directly and *** paper, together with a film, describes an approach developed at the Computation Center and tested and implemented in three offerings of a computer Science advanced undergraduate course.

We present a new algorithm for the two-center problem: “Given a set S of n points in the real plane, find two closed discs whose union contains all of the points and the radius of the larger disc is minimized.” An almost quadratic O(n2logn) solution is given. The previously best known algorithms for the two-center problem have time complexity O(n2log3n). The solution is based on a new geometric characterization of the optimal discs and on a searching scheme with so-called lazy evaluation. The algorithm is simple and does not assume general position of the input points. The importance of the problem is known in various practical applications including transportation, station placement, and facility location.

2D Confocal Raman Microscopy (CRM) data consist of high dimensional per-pixel spectral data of 1000 bands and allows for complex spectral and spatial-spectral analysis tasks, i.e., in material discrimination, material thickness, and spatial material distributions. Currently, simple integral methods are commonly applied as visual analysis solutions to CRM data which exhibit restricted discrimination power in various regards. In this paper we present a novel approach for the visual analysis of 2D multispectral CRM data using multi-variate visualization techniques. Due to the large amount of data and the demand of an explorative approach without a-priori restriction, our system allows for arbitrary interactive (de)selection of varaibles w/o limitation and an unrestricted online definition/construction of new, combined properties. Our approach integrates CRM specific quantitative measures and handles material-related features for mixed materials in a quantitative manner. Technically, we realize the online definition/construction of new, combined properties as semi-automatic, cascaded, 1D and 2D multidimensional transfer functions (MD-TFs). By interactively incorporating new (raw or derived) properties, the dimensionality of the MD-TF space grows during the exploration procedure and is virtually unlimited. The final visualization is achieved by an enhanced color mixing step which improves saturation and contrast.

Saliency methods-techniques to identify the importance of input features on a model's output-are a common step in understanding neural network behavior. However, interpreting saliency requires tedious manual inspection to identify and aggregate patterns in model behavior, resulting in ad hoc or cherry-picked analysis. To address these concerns, we present Shared Interest: metrics for comparing model reasoning (via saliency) to human reasoning (via ground truth annotations). By providing quantitative descriptors, Shared Interest enables ranking, sorting, and aggregating inputs, thereby facilitating large-scale systematic analysis of model behavior. We use Shared Interest to identify eight recurring patterns in model behavior, such as cases where contextual features or a subset of ground truth features are most important to the model. Working with representative real-world users, we show how Shared Interest can be used to decide if a model is trustworthy, uncover issues missed in manual analyses, and enable interactive probing.
