CAREER: Multivariate Visualization of Importance-Varying Data

本计画将探讨在二维与三维资料域中显示重要性变化资料的技术。 解决这个问题的方法将强调考虑a）人类观众的感知特性，B）动态可操纵的显示环境，以增加可以清楚显示的变量的数量，以及c）开发的技术的实验验证。 该项目的一部分将与气象监测、医学成像和公共卫生决策等应用领域的研究人员合作进行。 具体的项目目标包括建设现有的重要性可视化技术的调查，新技术的发展，以代表重要性变化的数据，比较和验证的技术确定或开发，建设一个动态的环境，探索的重要性变化的数据和发展和传播的感知原则，有效的多元显示。

This project will investigate techniques for the display of importance-varying data in both two-and three-dimensional data domains. The approach to this problem will emphasize consideration of a) the perceptual characteristics of human viewers, b) dynamically manipulable display environments to increase the number of variables that can be clearly displayed, and c) experimental validation of the techniques developed. Portions of the project will be conducted in collaboration with the researchers in application fields such as meteorological monitoring, medical imaging, and public health decision-making. Specific project objectives include construction of a survey of existing importance visualization techniques, development of new techniques to represent importance-varying data, comparison and validation of techniques identified or developed, construction of a dynamic environment for the exploration of importance-varying data and the development and dissemination of perceptual principles for effective multivariate display.
