Presentation
Emerging Research Topics of the Visualization Group of the Institute of Visual Computing & Human-Centered Technology at TU Wien
Date: 24th November, 2022, 15.00
About: The visualization group of the Institute of Visual Computing & Human-Centered Technology at TU Wien is doing basic and applied research in the field of biological data visualization, information visualization & visual analytics, illustrative visualization, medical visualization, and visual perception. Manuela Waldner and Renata Raidou will introduce the group, and then several members of the group will present their emerging research topics.
Lectures
Lukas Herzberger: Scalable Web-based Volume Rendering for Large-scale Multichannel Data Sets: CyCIF is a tissue imaging process in the field of digital histopathology that produces volumetric data sets with up to 60 different channels and file sizes ranging from gigabytes to terabytes. We aim to develop a pure client-side web-based volume rendering approach that is scalable to such large-scale multichannel data.
Renata Raidou: Biomedical visualization and visual analytics: research on personalized, predictive, and participatory solutions: Renata Raidou will discuss emerging research topics in the domain of biomedical visualization and visual analytics. In particular she will present the group's work on personalized guidance-enriched visualization and predictive visual analytics (exemplified on cancer treatment), and on participatory physicalizations (applied to anatomical and biological edutainment).
Manuela Waldner et al.: Towards Digital Outdoor Twins: In a loose collaboration of researchers from the computer graphics and visualization group, we investigate real-time visualization of outdoor terrains. Our goal is to produce highly truthful and detailed visual representations to enhance users' spatial understanding and safety-critical decision making. We present intermediate results from three ongoing projects in this context:
1. Avalanche risk visualization on digital elevation models (Johannes Eschner, ongoing master thesis)
2. Vegetation visualization from digital elevation models and aerial images (Angeliki Grammatikaki, ongoing PhD thesis)
3. Shadow detection and relighting (Simon Halper, bachelor student & research assistant)
Manuela Waldner: Joint Human-Machine Data Exploration: I shortly introduce an upcoming FWF basic research project together with the Media Computing group at St.Pölten University of Applied Sciences. In this project, we will investigate how to combine the strengths of humans and machines to perform exploratory analysis on large and unstructured data. I will present our grand vision and give an overview of our previous work upon which we build our project.
Biographies
Manuela Waldner is an assistant professor (tenure track) at the Institute of Visual Computing & Human-Centered Technology at TU Wien, Austria. She has a PhD in computer science from Graz University of Technology, Austria. Her main research interests cover interactive data analysis and visualization with the primary goal to make complex data and models better understandable for users. She has co-authored papers at journals and venues like IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics or ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems, of which some have been nominated or awarded best paper awards. In 2014, she received a Hertha Firnberg fellowship for highly qualified female scientists by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
Renata Raidou is Assistant Professor in Medical Visualization and Visual Analytics at TU Wien, Austria. Previously, she was Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Renata has a Ph.D. in Medical Visualization from Eindhoven University of Technology. She has been awarded the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine at Eurographics 2017, the Best Ph.D. Award 2018 of the EuroVis Awards Programme, and the EuroVis Young Researcher Award 2022. Her research focus is on the interface between Visual Analytics, Image Processing, and Machine Learning, with a strong focus on biomedical applications. She is particularly involved in educational activities regarding (Medical) Visualization and she has co-organized a NII Shonan Meeting on ``Formalizing Biological and Medical Visualization'' in 2020 and the Bio+Med+Vis Spring School in 2021&2022. She is actively involved in the EG VCBM workshop and she is a member of the Steering Committee of GI‐Fachgruppe VCBM.
