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数据的技术。解决这个问题的方法将强调考虑a)人类观众的感知特征，b)动态可操作的显示环境，以增加可以清晰显示的变量数量，以及c)所开发技术的实验验证。该项目的部分工作将与气象监测、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构建现有重要性可视化技术的调查，开发表示重要性变化数据的新技术，对已确定或开发的技术进行比较和验证，构建用于探索重要性变化数据的动态环境，以及开发和传播用于有效多元显示的感知原则。

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.
