TexMol: interactive visual exploration of large flexible multi-component molecular complexes
10.1109/VISUAL.2004.103
While molecular visualization software has advanced over the years, today, most tools still operate on individual molecular structures with limited facility to manipulate large multicomponent complexes. We approach this problem by extending 3D image-based rendering via programmable graphics units, resulting in an order...

The human visual system: how is its design related to the physics of the natural environment?
10.1109/VISUAL.2004.61
Summary form only given. The human visual system is the result of evolution by natural selection and hence its design must incorporate detailed knowledge of the physical properties of the natural environment. This is an obvious statement, but the scientific community has been slow to take it seriously. Only recently ha...

Accurate and reliable visualization of blood vessels is still a challenging problem, notably in the presence of morphologic changes resulting from atherosclerotic diseases. We take advantage of partially segmented data with approximately identified vessel centerlines to comprehensively visualize the diseased peripheral...

An ideal visualization tool that has not been used before in studying the optical behavior of near-field apertures is three-dimensional vector field topology. The global view of the vector field structure is deduced by locating singularities (critical points) within the field and augmenting these points with nearby str...
