Abstract

This paper presents a method to automate rendering parameter selection, simplifying tedious user interaction and improving the usability of visualization systems. Our approach acquires regions-of-interest for a dataset with an eye tracker and simple user interaction. Based on this importance information, we then automatically compute reasonable rendering parameters using a set of heuristic rules adapted from visualization experience and psychophysics experiments. While the parameter selections for a specific visualization task are subjective, our approach provides good starting results that can be refined by the user. Our system improves the interactivity of a visualization system by significantly reducing the necessary parameter selection and providing good initial rendering parameters for newly acquired datasets of similar types.
