Johan Averstedt presenterar QlikView. Mjukvaran QlikView <www.qlikview.com>, är ett framgångsrikt verktyg för affärsinformation. Qlikview har en vision baserad på enkelhet och demokratisering av information som ledde till patent inom associativ datahantering i primärminnet. Det är just associationsaspekten som förenklar och underlättar möjligheten att ha en dialog med informationen och enkelt klicka sig fram till dolda samband och relationer mellan data som tidigare var okända. Vare sig det gäller att fria upp kapital i industrin, reducera väntetider i sjukvården eller visualisera kreditgivningsprocessen på en bank så levererar QlikView transparens, överblick och insikt – enklare och snabbare än vad de flesta tror är möjligt.

Stereoscopic Label Placement: Reducing Visual Distraction and Ambiguity in Augmented Reality, slides

Abstract:
The use of stereoscopic disparity has been studied in the context of label placement in Augmented Reality (AR). Stereoscopic disparity, the difference in the two retinal images due to the interocular distance, is generally used as a depth cue by the human vision system. It also has an important role in visual clutter breaking, which is prominently illustrated through random dot stereograms. User studies have shown that a label placement algorithm using stereo disparity to separate overlapping labels, yields user performance comparable to existing algorithms that separate labels in the 2D view plane. At the same time, stereoscopic label placement is subjectively rated much less disturbing, and also does not allow for potentially ambiguous spatial relationships between labels and background objects. These findings are important for AR display systems where distraction and ambiguity of the overlay can negatively impact safety and efficiency of the system, for example future augmented vision systems for Air Traffic Control towers.

Peter Ekberg, Methods for high accuracy measurements in images
Thursday 7/5, 15-17, room 4423, Lindstedtsvägen 5, floor 4
Abstract: When using a photo mask as original for making display devices as image sensors, mobile phone displays, LCD TV etc. the quality demand is extremely high. Very small systematical deviations in location or dimension of features on the photo mask will be detectable by the human eye on the final product.
Besides the manual visual inspection methods which is the most common technique used today image processing algorithms can also be used. The real challenge with these methods is to use pixel based images as input and create algorithms that are able to detect systematical deviations in location and dimension in the range 1/100 of a pixel or even better.
Model based methods such as Error function (ERF ) fitting or polynomial fitting of edges in images can some times be used.
Tricks, such as using slightly rotated images can be used for enhancing the resolution in cases when models are used for estimating the real shape of an edge in an image.
A model based method, however fails if the model does not reflect the optical transfer function of the system generating the image.
Another more statistical method, that does not include the usage of any models, has also been developed for precise measurements in images. By using this method it is also possible to optimize the numbers of pixels to be used in the image for the measurement, for a certain optical configuration of the image frame grab system. This data reduction is important since in the real case, as in a high speed production measurement tool, you need to handle a lot of images in real time.

20 March, 13.15-14, Filipe Marreiros, “Design of custom implants for large skull defects”, Visualization seminar arranged by PDC, room 22, Teknikringen 14, floor 3.
Abstract: Functional and aesthetically correct custom implants are extremely important for patients that have large skull defects (>100 cm2). We present a CAD tool that enables the design of such implants, for the neurocranium region. A combination of Geometric Morphometrics (GM) and special interpolation functions named Radial Basis Functions (RBF) in particular the Thin Plate Spline (TPS) are used to allow the semi-automatic generation of the implants. Our in-house Rapid Prototyping machine is capable of printing these implants, but unfortunately the printing material is not implantable. For this reason, as a first step, we have to generate a mold that will be used at a second step to fabricate the implant dedicated to surgery.

18 March, 10.15-11, prof Yifang Ban, ViSuCity - A Visual Sustainable City Planning Tools, Torget, Lindstedtsvägen 5, floor 6
Abstract: With an increasing number of people living in or moving to cities, cities are growing and sprawling. Urbanization and the impact of human settlements are two of the main causes of global environmental degradation. Therefore, sustainable city planning has and will continue to have vital impact on global environmental and climate change. In planning processes, however, there are limited methods for efficiently sharing information and ideas throughout all phases of city planning projects among planners, architects, politicians, NGOs, private businesses and the public. Thus, development of effective 3D visualization tools to assist planners and decision makers is of critical importance for sustainable urban planning as well as effective communications to the general public. The overall objective of this research is to develop an effective web-based, interactive 5D (+ time+ sustainability) visualization demonstrator, ViSuCity, to support sustainable city planning in terms of information sharing, analysis, development, presentation and communication of ideas and proposals throughout the city planning processes. Parameters relevant for an integrated sustainable city planning, such as transportation system, infrastructure, energy, water and waste management, green structure, etc will be integrated to enhance the quality of both the planning process and the planning results.

Ingrid Carlbom, Challenges in Multi-Disciplinary Multi-Media Research
Tuesday 10/2, 10.15-12, Torget, Ingrid Carlbom will talk for 45 minutes
Abstract: My research has been driven by three themes: it has been problem-driven,
multi-disciplinary, and often involved the natural sciences. I have worked
in three industries: the petroleum industry, the computer industry, and in
telecommunications, where I have collaborated with domain experts as well as
other computer scientists and engineers. I will describe some problems from
each of my three careers, focusing on (1) how the projects came about,
(2) why the problems were interesting, (3) why they were difficult, both
technically and sometimes socially, and (4) on the results. Only in a
couple of cases will I go into details of the solution.

Holographic display techniques
M311, Brinellvägen 68
After the seminar there will be a demonstration of the holographic display.
Abstract
Holography can be regarded as the "Holy Grail" of three-dimensional display technology. It has the potential to record and display what is essentially the full three-dimensional light field of a scene. Holography is, however, less suitable for real-time displays since it demands so much of the display medium and of data recording, storage and transfer systems. For real-time display is has, so far, been more fruitful to apply other autostereoscopic techniques.
In the seminar, I will give an overview of basic holography principles. I will also describe some other autostereoscopic displays and their relation to holography. Finally, I will describe and show our approach to making a real-time autostereoscopic display based on holographic principles.

13/11, 9.15-12, two seminars:
9.15-10: Mats Waltré: Presentation av visualiseringsdemonstratorutlysningen
Torget, Lindstedtsvägen 5, floor 6
10.15-12: Ed Fontes, COMSOL
Visualization in Multiphysics Simulations
Abstract: Multiphysics modeling involves the basic steps of drawing 3D geometries, setting the physics for the model at hand, meshing, solving, and postprocessing the results. The use of good visualization techniques is critical in these steps. However, the techniques used in the current version of COMSOL Multiphysics are rather standard.
In my presentation, I will give a short overview of the modeling procedure in COMSOL. I will also present some of our future plans regarding visualization in multiphysics modeling. From here I would be very eager to hear your feedback and ideas regarding possible innovative improvements.

Blending the real and digital worlds for an enhanced reality together with the seminars  on Communication: culture, technology and Science (more info on those seminars: http://xml.nada.kth.se/media/Research/k-sem/k-sem-aktuell/)
Torget, Lindstedtsvägen 5, floor 6
After the talk, there will be a possibility to experience some informal demonstrations of the work in our lab at Teknikringen 14, floor 5, see http://www.csc.kth.se/~alx/map. Please send an e-mail to me at alx@csc.kth.se, if you would like to attend the demonstration.Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) is the concept of merging virtual information with a real environment. It presents an intuitive and direct user interface to annotate real-world objects without physically altering them, and AR has proven to be a useful paradigm in many different application areas, including medicine, maintenance and repair, architecture, and entertainment. Most traditional AR systems have however required encumbering equipment, such as head-worn displays, active or passive stereo glasses, and position and orientation trackers to produce the registered augmentation effect, which have prevented them from reaching a larger audience. Recent advances in a number of technological areas have inspired our research in unencumbering AR interfaces that support sporadic and spontaneous interaction with a seamless blend of the digital and physical. We base our interactive systems on spatially aware mobile devices, direct projection systems, holographic technology and immaterial displays. We will look at a number of example projects from the literature and from our own work, and conclude with an outlook of where the field might be heading with its current and future impact on visual culture.

Human-Computer Interaction Outlook: Tangible and Tabletop Interaction
Torget, Lindstedtsvägen 5, floor 6
Abstract: The objective behind Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) is to allow users to interact with computers through familiar tangible objects, thereby taking advantage of both the rich tactile world and powerful computer-based simulations. TUIs give physical form to digital information, employing physical artifacts as both representations and controls for computational media. They greatly facilitate collaboration around intelligent tables, which we call tabletop interaction. At the t2i Lab (www.t2i.se) we are pushing the edge of interactive technology. We do this primarily by developing TUIs and large-display user interfaces that can support collaborative work, creative problem solving, and science education. Our areas of investigation include sensors, actuators, vision-based tracking, and software for multimodal user interfaces

Collaborative Visualization
Torget, Lindstedtsvägen 5, floor 6
Abstract: Information visualization can make large amounts of data available in
real time and visual analytics often require collaboration and
expertise from people with different knowledge. The rapid development
of display technology provides novel ways of presenting information;
on the other hand, human perception and communication sets limits on
how information can be efficiently perceived and shared. My talk will
be on some aspects that should be considered when designing
collaborative systems for information visualization.

Visualisation - an important tool for (biomedical) image analysis
Ewert Bengtsson, Professor of computerized image analysis, Uppsala University
Abstract: Image analysis and visualisation are in a sense opposite activities; analysing images versus creating images. And as long as image analysis is aiming for fully automated systems there is very little relationship. But many image analysis problems are far from possible to automate completely and here visualisation and interaction becomes important system components. This is particularly true when the images to analyse are 3D or more, visualisation then becomes non-trivial.
In medicine the capacity of registering high resolution images in 3D and 4D (moving volumes) is developing rapidly creating increasing needs for effective tools supporting the analysis of the images to help prevent that the clinicians drowns in a sea of data. Also in many scientific disciplines multi-dimensional data is becoming increasingly common creating needs for new tools integrating visualisation and analysis.
In this seminar I will discuss these issues and present some illustrating examples from our work at the Centre for Image Analysis in Uppsala.

Prof Helwig Hauser, Bergen:
Visualization and how it follows user tasks and data characteristics
Abstract:
Visualization has matured over about twenty years to an indispensable
technology for supporting user tasks such as exploration, analysis,
and presentation.  A rich variety of approaches has been emerged from
the recent past of related research and an important reason for the
presence so many different solutions is that the specifics of the
required approach very much depend on the data and respective
characteristics (extent, dimensionality, type, organization), the
targeted user task, and the allowed complexity of the approach.
In this discussion we will look at the field of visualization from
a meta perspective point of view as well as at some selected concrete
examples.

Seminar: Information Visualization. slides
Matt Cooper, Senior lecturer (universitetslektor), NVIS, ITN, Linköpings Universitet, Campus Norrköping
Abstract:Information visualization is rapidly becoming an essential tool for business and industry, and is finding ever more applications across these areas. Using methods to interactively explore data which is both very large and of high dimensionality, InfoViz techniques are frequently extremely mathematical and powerful, even though the resulting graphical representations used can often seem simple and even obvious. The techniques employed in InfoViz are also now finding many uses outside business - in the physical and social sciences, in biology, genetics and medicine, and in engineering too, where similarly complex data can also be common.
This seminar will focus on the nature of InfoViz and describe the classes of problems involved and the approaches used, using examples of specific algorithms and applications, and will introduce the audience to many concepts from this rapidly evolving research area.
