Stefan developed the VolumeShop system for the interactive generation of high quality illustration directly from volumetric data fields, which has already had significant impact. This system allows the designer of an illustration to work directly on measured data and uses abstraction to reduce visual clutter while revealing hidden detail. He also introduced the concept of style transfer functions to allow the flexible combination of different rendering styles. In addition, he developed a context preserving volume rendering model as an effective alternative to conventional clipping techniques for explorative volume visualization. Finally, Stefan introduced the notion of isosurface similarity maps (Best Paper Award at EuroVis 2010), which quantify the mutual similarity between all isosurfaces within a volumetric data set. This approach opens several interesting directions for future investigation.
