Article Abstract
Colormapping is an effective and popular visualization technique for analyzing patterns in scalar fields. Scientists usually adjust a default colormap to show hidden patterns by shifting the colors in a trial-and-error process. To improve efficiency, efforts have been made to automate the colormap adjustment process based on data properties (e.g., statistical data value or histogram distribution). However, as the data properties have no direct correlation to the spatial variations, previous methods may be insufficient to reveal the dynamic range of spatial variations hidden in the data. To address the above issues, we conduct a pilot analysis with domain experts and summarize three requirements for the colormap adjustment process. Based on the requirements, we formulate colormap adjustment as an objective function, composed of a boundary term and a fidelity term, which is flexible enough to support interactive functionalities. We compare our approach with alternative methods under a quantitative measure and a qualitative user study (25 participants), based on a set of data with broad distribution diversity. We further evaluate our approach via three case studies with six domain experts. Our method is not necessarily more optimal than alternative methods of revealing patterns, but rather is an additional color adjustment option for exploring data with a dynamic range of spatial variations.

Article Synopsis
- Existing methods for low-light image enhancement often use complex networks for Retinex decomposition, leading to inaccurate results.
- The proposed method simplifies the process by dividing images into colormaps and graymaps for better reflectance and illumination estimations, utilizing a diffusion model for enhancement.
- By integrating brightness guidance to fine-tune brightness and remove disturbances, this approach demonstrates a 4.4% performance improvement on the LOL dataset and proves adaptable across various real-world datasets.

Background: Multiphase CTA (mCTA) is an established tool for endovascular treatment decision-making and outcome prediction in acute ischemic stroke, but its interpretation requires some degree of experience. We aimed to determine whether mCTA-based prediction of clinical outcome and final infarct volume can be improved by assessing collateral status on time-variant mCTA color maps rather than using a conventional mCTA display format.
Methods: Patients from the PRove-IT cohort study with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion were included in this study.
The virtual approach to the assessment of skeletal injuries in human skeletal remains of forensic importance.

While assessing skeletal injuries in human skeletal remains, forensic anthropologists are frequently presented with fractured, fragmented, or otherwise modified skeletal remains. The examination of evidence and the mechanisms of skeletal injuries often require that separate osseous elements be permanently or temporarily reassembled or reconstructed. If not dealt with properly, such reconstructions may impede accurate interpretation of the evidence.
