Abstract :
When pursuing an unfamiliar research direction, a researcher, possibly a PhD student, must undertake a literature search. This search aims to discover what research has already been carried out in a given field (solved problems) and what research hasn´t (unsolved problems). However, in visualization and computer graphics, reading a refereed conference or journal paper can be challenging owing to its high level of specialization, complexity, and detail. Such papers often present a detailed mathematical framework accompanied by algorithms and data structures to carry them out and are usually written by (or with the aid of) experts in the field with many years´ experience. This complex ity comes as no great surprise because a single paper is often the result of many (combined) person-years of work.
