Abstract:
Color is often used to convey information, and color compositing
is often required while visualizing multi-attribute information. This
paper proposes an alternative method for color compositing. In order
to present understandable color blending to the general public,
several techniques are proposed. First, a paint-inspired RYB color
space is used. In addition, noise patterns are employed to produce
subregions of pure color within an overlapped region. We show
examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique for visualization.
