It is the fifth PhD project in a series of projects on visualization. The project was supervised by Frits Post (TU Delft) and Hans Spoelder (VU Amsterdam), and was supported by the Netherlands Computer Science Research Foundation (SION), with financial support of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The research concentrated on feature-based visualization techniques. Feature -based visualization is particularly suited to visualize large data sets, such as time-dependent data. It directs the attention to interesting phenomena (features) in the data; the objective is to extract, quan
