The flexible isosurface in the original form, however, relies on the contour tree. For the fiber surface, this corresponds to the Reeb space, which is challenging for both the computation and user interaction. We thus take a Reeb-free approach, in which one does not compute the Reeb space. Under this constraint, we generalize a few selected interactions in the flexible isosurface and discuss the implication of the restriction.}, language = {en} } @misc{SakuraiOnoCarretal., author = {Sakurai, Daisuke and Ono, Kenji and Carr, Hamish and Nonaka, Jorji and Kawanabe, Tomohiro}, title = {Flexible Fiber Surfaces: A Reeb-Free Approach}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-72599}, abstract = {The fiber surface generalizes the popular isosurface to multi-fields, so that pre-images can be visualized as surfaces.
