Review text

This interesting paper studies Toroidal density-equalizing maps for genus-one surfaces. A density-equalizing map is a technique first proposed by Gastner and Newman for cartogram creation. The map itself produces a shape deformation on a planar domain based on the physical principle of density diffusion. This technique has been applied in many areas for example in the visualization and analysis of sociological data, data for example in global epidemics, species extinction, climate warming, democratization and in many other areas. In recent years, there have been continuous efforts in the development and analysis of the density-equalizing map and its variants to many areas for example to the effectiveness of contiguous area cartograms, to the development of density-equalizing mapping methods for more general domains, to a mapping method for simply connected open surfaces, to mapping methods for multiply connected open surfaces and many more. Some applications of the above are too various problems in medical imaging, volumetric data visualization and shape analysis.\N\NIn this paper, the authors develop novel algorithms for studying Toroidal density-equalizing maps for genus-one surfaces. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of their methods.\N\NThe paper is well written with a good set of references.
