Illustrating Polymerization using Three-level Model Fusion
Ivan Kolesar, Julius Parulek, Ivan Viola +3
Research in cell biology is steadily contributing new knowledge about many different aspects of physiological processes like polymerization, both with respect to the involved molec…
ScaleTrotter: Illustrative Visual Travels Across Negative Scales
Sarkis Halladjian, Haichao Miao, David KouÅil +3
We present ScaleTrotter, a conceptual framework for an interactive, multi-scale visualization of biological mesoscale data and, specifically, genome data. ScaleTrotter allows viewe…
Visual Abstraction
Ivan Viola, Min Chen, Tobias Isenberg
In this article we revisit the concept of abstraction as it is used in visualization and put it on a solid formal footing. While the term \emph{abstraction} is utilized in many sci…
Hybrid Advantage Estimation with Unified Critic for VLM Agentic Reinforcement Learning
Wenxuan Zhang, Yuhui Wang, Donggang Jia +5
Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) now act as agents in interactive environments, where success requires coherent reasoning and decision-making across turns. Although end-to-end t…
EfficientMonoHair: Fast Strand-Level Reconstruction from Monocular Video via Multi-View Direction Fusion
Da Li, Dominik Engel, Deng Luo +1
Strand-level hair geometry reconstruction is a fundamental problem in virtual human modeling and the digitization of hairstyles. However, existing methods still suffer from a signi…
SynopSet: Multiscale Visual Abstraction Set for Explanatory Analysis of DNA Nanotechnology Simulations
Deng Luo, Alexandre Kouyoumdjian, OndÅej Strnad +3
We propose a new abstraction set (SynopSet) that has a continuum of visual representations for the explanatory analysis of molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) in the DNA nanotechn…
