abstract = "Exploded views are often used in illustration to overcome the problem  of occlusion when depicting complex structures. In this paper, we  propose a volume visualization technique inspired by exploded views  that partitions the volume into a number of parallel slabs and shows  them apart from each other. The thickness of slabs is driven by the  similarity between partitions. We use an information-theoretic technique  for the generation of exploded views. First, the algorithm identifies  the viewpoint from which the structure is the highest. Then, the  partition of the volume into the most informative slabs for exploding  is obtained using two complementary similarity-based strategies.  The number of slabs and the similarity parameter are freely adjustable  by the user.",
