We present the conformal magnifier, a novel interactive focus+context visualization technique that magnifies a region of interest (ROI) using conformal mapping. Our framework provides various magnifier shapes for the user to enlarge the ROI while globally deforming the context region without any cropping. By using the mathematical well-defined conformal mapping theory and algorithm, the ROI is magnified with local shape preservation, while the transition region between the focus and context regions is deformed smoothly and continuously. After the selection of a specified magnifier shape, our system can automatically magnify the ROI in real time even for large volumetric datasets. These properties are very important for many visualization applications, especially for computer aided detection and diagnosis. Our framework is application-independent and is suitable for diverse applications, such as information visualization, medical imaging, time-series data and 3D volumetric visualization. Various experimental results and a carefully designed user study demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness and efficiency of our method. |
