Interactive context-aware illustrative visualization

我的研究计划的长期目标是开发说明性图形和可视化技术和系统，能够捕捉传统的科学技术医学（STM）插图的表现力。传统插图技巧的真实的力量来自于插图画家对插图中微妙的感知线索的掌握，强调并征服了观众的抽象和具体信息。今天的计算机生成的STM可视化技术和系统通常缺乏这种微妙之处。 我的研究计划的重点是解决上述问题。我将开发一个新的说明性可视化框架和工具集，将传统的STM说明原则，实践和方法与现有的和即将推出的图形和可视化系统和技术相结合。我的计划有两个主要目标：（1）从现代STM数据实验，模拟和采集中创建信息丰富的说明性可视化，这些数据在表达和交流方面都很强大;（2）确保在可视化任务（例如训练或探索会话）期间呈现信息时使用的说明性技术捕获上下文。任务上下文由一组具有不同程度的可用信息（数据模态、大小、细节和不确定性）的特征、可视化/通信目标、用户的专业知识和经验以及所使用的输入/输出设备组成。

The long-term objective of my research program is to develop illustrative graphics and visualization techniques and systems that are able to capture the expressiveness of traditional Scientific-Technical-Medical (STM) illustrations. The real power of traditional illustration techniques comes from the illustrator's mastery of integrating subtle perceptual cues within the illustration, emphasizing and subjugating abstract and concrete information to the viewer. Today's computer-generated STM visualization techniques and systems generally lack this subtlety. The focus of my research program is to address the aforementioned problem. I will develop a new illustrative visualization framework and tool set that incorporates traditional STM illustration principles, practices, and methods with existing and forthcoming graphics and visualization systems and techniques. My program has two main objectives: (1) to create informative illustrative visualizations from modern STM data experiments, simulations and acquisitions which are robust in their expressiveness and communication; (2) to ensure the context is captured by the illustrative techniques used when information is presented during a visualization task (e.g. training or exploration session). A task context consists of a set of characteristics with varying degrees of available information (data modality, size, detail, and uncertainty), the visualization/communication goals, the expertise and experience of the user, and the input/output devices being utilized.
