abstract = "In this paper, we introduce the concept of isosurface similarity maps  for the visualization of volume data. Isosurface similarity maps  present structural information of a volume data set by depicting  similarities between individual isosurfaces quantified by a robust  information-theoretic measure. Unlike conventional histograms, they  are not based on the frequency of isovalues and/or derivatives and  therefore provide complementary information. We demonstrate that  this new representation can be used to guide transfer function design  and visualization parameter specification. Furthermore, we use isosurface  similarity to develop an automatic parameter-free method for identifying  representative isovalues. Using real-world data sets, we show that  isosurface similarity maps can be a useful addition to conventional  classification techniques.",
