Coherent Zooming of Illustrations with 3D-Graphics and Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we develop a method for zooming in complex information spaces consisting of geometric models and associated textual explanations. In particular we introduce a technique to extend fisheye views to the exploration of three-dimensional models. The result of a zooming process is a modified geometric model which is rendered and presented to the user with appropriately selected and well-placed textual labels. The user interacts with such coherent presentations to explore the information space. Our methods have been implemented in a system called the ZOOM ILLUSTRATOR. The system maintains a close relationship between images and associated text, with interaction on the textual part influencing the appearance of the graphical part and vice versa. We demonstrate our system on medical illustrations, in particular from anatomy.

Integration of 3D Data and Text: The Effects of Text Positioning, Connectivity, and Visual Hints on Comprehension
3D computer graphic models hold much promise as illustrations that can be interactively explored. These 3D illustrations often need to be linked to labels, annotations and sometimes more lengthy textual explanations. Achieving effective integration of the 3D illustration and its textual information is a difficult task and has resulted in a variety of proposed approaches. However, the comparativ...
متن کاملDirectional Stroke Width Transform to Separate Text and Graphics in City Maps
One of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. In these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. Usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. In most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. Moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...
متن کاملJazz: An Extensible 2D+Zooming Graphics Toolkit in Java
Jazz is a new general-purpose toolkit that supports applications using zooming object-oriented 2D graphics. It is built entirely in Java using Java2D, and thus runs on all platforms that support Java 2. It supports zooming, internal cameras, and lenses in a similar style to Pad++, but does so in a general purpose manner without a specific focus on zooming. Jazz is primarily a "scenegraph" for 2...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
متن کاملImplementing a Zooming User Interface: Experience Building Pad++
We are investigating a novel user interface paradigm based on zooming, in which users are presented with a zooming view of a huge planar information surface. We have developed a system called Pad++ to explore this approach. The implementation of Pad++ is related to real-time 3D graphics systems and to 2D windowing systems. However, the zooming nature of Pad++ requires new approaches to renderin...
