Perception-based Visualization of Volumetric Datasets

In this talk I will describe approaches towards user-oriented exploration of volumetric datasets. A visualization technique is presented, which allows to emphasize certain regions of interest by applying different visual appearances interactively. In order to give better insights into this regions occluding parts can be removed or visualized differently such that a better focussing is allowed. Since when applying these strategies the overall structure of the dataset is modified, spatial comprehension may become more difficult. To diminish this effect a visualization technique to support depth perception is proposed.
