CAREER: Multivariate Visualization of Importance-Varying Data

该项目将研究在二维和三维数据域中显示重要性变化的数据的技术。解决该问题的方法将强调考虑a)人类观众的感知特征，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)所开发技术的实验验证。该项目的部分内容将与气象监测、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对现有的重要性可视化技术进行调查，开发新的技术来表示不同重要性的数据，对已确定或开发的技术进行比较和验证，为探索不同重要性的数据构建一个动态环境，并制定和传播用于有效显示多变量数据的感知原则。

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.
