  abstract =   "Many sophisticated techniques for the visualization of
               volumetric data such as medical data have been published.
               While existing techniques are mature from a technical point
               of view, managing the complexity of visual parameters is
               still difficult for non-expert users. To this end, this
               paper presents new ideas to facilitate the specification of
               optical properties for direct volume rendering. We introduce
               an additional level of abstraction for parametric models of
               transfer functions. The proposed framework allows
               visualization experts to design high-level transfer function
               models which can intuitively be used by non-expert users.
               The results are user interfaces which provide semantic
               information for specialized visualization problems. The
               proposed method is based on principal component analysis as
               well as on concepts borrowed from computer animation.",
