Aggregate Towers: Scale Sensitive Visualization and Decluttering of Geospatial Data
نویسنده
چکیده
We have developed a technique, Aggregate Towers, that allows geospatial data to be visualized across a range of map scales. We use a combination of data aggregation algorithms and dynamically aggregating data markers (e.g., icons or symbols) to accommodate interactive zooming by a user while maintaining a representation that remains intuitive, consistent across multiple scales, and uncluttered. This approach implicitly generates multiple levels of overview displays from a single set of underlying data. CR

Aggregation and visualization of spatial data with application to classification of land use and land cover
Aggregation and visualization of geographical data are an important part of environmental data mining, environmental modelling, and agricultural management. However, it is difficult to aggregate geospatial data of the various formats, such as maps, census and survey data. This paper presents a framework named PlaniSphere, which can aggregate the various geospatial datasets, and synthesizes raw ...
متن کاملSupporting Web-Based Visual Exploration of Large-Scale Raster Geospatial Data Using Binned Min-Max Quadtree
Traditionally environmental scientists are limited to simple display and animation of large-scale raster geospatial data derived from remote sensing instrumentation and model simulation outputs. Identifying regions that satisfy certain range criteria, e.g., temperature between [t1,t2) and precipitation between [p1,p2), plays an important role in query-driven visualization and visual exploration...
متن کاملBuilding Geospatial Mashups to Visualize Information for Crisis Management
In time-sensitive environments such as disaster management, decision-making often requires rapidly gathering the information from diverse data sources and then visualizing the collected information to understand it. Thus, it is critical to reduce the overhead in data integration and visualization for efficient decision-making. Geospatial mashups can be an effective solution in such environments...
متن کاملUsing Self-organizing Maps for Information Visualization and Knowledge Discovery in Complex Geospatial Datasets
New data acquisition techniques are offering tremendous opportunities that result in more and more geospatial data to be handled. Analyzing these data becomes a difficult task due to the size of datasets, their complexity, scaling problems, and hidden patterns. The complexity of the attribute or feature space in such large datasets as well as related computational burdens, do not always allow t...
