Managing Spatial Selections With Contextual Snapshots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial selections are a ubiquitous concept in visualization. By localizing particular features, they can be analysed and compared in different views. However, the semantics of such selections often depend on specific parameter settings and it can be difficult to reconstruct them without additional information. In this paper, we present the concept of contextual snapshots as an effective means for managing spatial selections in visualized data. The selections are automatically associated with the context in which they have been created. Contextual snapshots can also be used as the basis for interactive integrated and linked views, which enable in-place investigation and comparison of multiple visual representations of data. Our approach is implemented as a flexible toolkit with well-defined interfaces for integration into existing systems. We demonstrate the power and generality of our techniques by applying them to several distinct scenarios such as the visualization of simulation data, the analysis of historical documents and the display of anatomical data.

Investigating the Impact of the Contextual Developments on the Concept of House in Contemporary era
Although there is a belief in the interaction of context and architecture, recognizing, defining, and managing this issue faces fundamental challenges that reveal the need for a deeper understanding of the concept of contextual and architectural interaction. Context features, regardless of the subject, have a direct impact on the nature of an architectural work. These characteristics are re...
متن کاملThe hippocampus is required for visually cued contextual response selection, but not for visual discrimination of contexts
The hippocampus is important for spatial navigation. Literature shows that allocentric visual contexts in the animal's background are critical for making conditional response selections during navigations. In a traditional maze task, however, it is difficult to identify exactly which subsets of visual contexts are critically used. In the current study, we tested in rats whether making condition...
متن کاملProcessing Continuous Range Queries with Non-spatial Selections
In this paper, we explore the problem of scalable evaluation of Continuous Range Queries (CRQs) with non-spatial selections, each of which continually retrieves the moving objects that (i) are currently within a specified spatial query region and (ii) satisfy specified non-spatial selections. We propose a new query indexing structure, called the Bit-vector Query Region tree (BQRtree), which ena...
متن کاملComplex Spatial Query Processing
The user of a Geographical Information System is not limited to conventional spatial selections and joins, but may also pose more complicated and descriptive queries. In this paper we focus on the efficient processing and optimization of complex spatial queries that involve combinations of spatial selections and joins. Our contribution is manifold; we first provide formulae that accurately esti...

1Abstract. This chapter introduces the idiosyncrasies of managing the new paradigm of global contextual data, sets of context data and super sets of context data. It introduces some of the basic idea’s behind contexts and then develops a model for management of aggregated sets of contextual data and proposes methods for dealing with the selection and retrieval of context data that is inherently...
