TL;DR: This paper introduces UpSet, a novel visualization technique for the quantitative analysis of sets, their intersections, and aggregates of intersections, focused on creating task-driven aggregates, communicating the size and properties of aggregates and intersection, and a duality between the visualization of the elements in a dataset and their set membership.

TL;DR: A novel method called visibility splatting determines visible surfels and holes in the z-buffer, which makes them specifically suited for low-cost, real-time graphics, such as games.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe automated technologies to probe the structure of neural tissue at nanometer resolution and use them to generate a saturated reconstruction of a sub-volume of mouse neocortex in which all cellular objects (axons, dendrites, and glia) and many subcellular components (synapses, synaptic vesicles, spines, spine apparati, postsynaptic densities, and mitochondria) are rendered and itemized in a database.

TL;DR: This work presents a generative model for isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) based on acquired reflectance data that lets users define perceptually meaningful parametrization directions to navigate in the reduced-dimension BRDF space.

TL;DR: This work introduces a linear approximation of the min operator to compute the dark channel and achieves state-of-the-art results on deblurring natural images and compares favorably methods that are well-engineered for specific scenarios.
