Zusammenfassung: This book continues a series of Springer publications devoted to the emerging field of Integrated Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with Visual Knowledge Discovery and Visual Analytics that combine advances in both fields. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning face long-standing challenges of explainability and interpretability that underpin trust. Such attributes are fundamental to both decision-making and knowledge discovery. Models are approximations and, at best, interpretations of reality that are transposed to algorithmic form. A visual explanation paradigm is critically important to address such challenges, as current studies demonstrate in salience ...

Information visualisation is the field of study that is concerned with the development of methods for transforming abstract, complex data into visual representations in order to make that data more easily communicable and understandable. This volume reviews recent developments in information visualisation techniques, their application, and methods for their evaluation. It offers a wide range of examples of applied information visualisation from across disciplines such as history, art, the hum...

Implicit surfaces offer special effects animators, graphic designers, CAD engineers, graphics students, and hobbyists a new range of capabilities for the modeling of complex geometric objects. In contrast to traditional parametric surfaces, implicit surfaces can easily describe smooth, intricate, and articulatable shapes. These powerful yet easily understood surfaces are finding use in a growing number of graphics applications. This comprehensive introduction develops the fundamental concepts and techniques of implicit surface modeling, rendering, and animating in terms accessible to anyone with a basic background in computer graphics. + provides a thorough overview of implicit surfaces with a focus on their applications in graphics + explains the best methods for designing, representing, and visualizing implicit surfaces + surveys the latest research With contributions from seven graphics authorities, this innovative guide establishes implicit surfaces as a powerful and practical tool for animation and rendering.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 28th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization, GD 2021, which was held in Tübingen, Germany, during September 14-17, 2021. The 23 full papers and 5 short papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The abstracts of 13 posters presented at the conference can be found in the back matter of the volume. The contributions were organized in topical sections as follows: Best Paper (Track 1: Combinatorial and Algorithmic Aspects); Best Paper (Track 2: Experimental, Applied, and Network Visualization Aspects); Crossing Minimization and Beyond-Planarity; Morphing and Graph Abstraction; Geometric Constraints; Topological and Upward Drawings; Linear Layouts; Contact and Visibility Representations; Geometric Aspects in Graph Drawing; AI applications; and Graph Drawing Contest Report.
This book presents cutting-edge developments in the advanced mathematical theories utilized in computer graphics research – fluid simulation, realistic image synthesis, and texture, visualization and digital fabrication. A spin-off book from the International Symposium on Mathematical Progress in Expressive Image Synthesis in 2016 and 2017 (MEIS2016/2017) held in Fukuoka, Japan, it includes lecture notes and an expert introduction to the latest research presented at the symposium. The book offers an overview of the emerging interdisciplinary themes between computer graphics and driven mathematic theories, such as discrete differential geometry. Further, it highlights open problems in those themes, making it a valuable resource not only for researchers, but also for graduate students interested in computer graphics and mathematics.
