“…Examples for seed placement include image-guided placement [17], evenly-spaced seeding [6], featureguided seeding [19], farthest seed placement [12], image-based placement [8], dual seeding [13], surface seeding [14] and entropybased seeding [21]. For streamline selection, several research efforts utilized concepts from information theory to quantify the importance of streamlines for selection [11,7,10].…”
