چکیده
This paper describes a new method for visualizing complex information spaces as painted images. Scientific visualization converts data into pictures that allow viewers to “see” trends, relationships, and patterns. We introduce a formal definition of the correspondence between traditional visualization techniques and painterly styles from the Impressionist art movement. This correspondence allows us to apply perceptual guidelines from visualization to control the presentation of information in a computer-generated painting. The result is an image that is visually engaging, but that also allows viewers to rapidly and accurately explore and analyze the underlying data values. We conclude by applying our technique to a collection of environmental and weather readings, to demonstrate its viability in a practical, real-world visualization environment.

متن کاملNeuro-ACT Cognitive Architecture Applications in Modeling Driver’s Steering Behavior in Turns
Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...
متن کاملZ-Cognitive Map: An Integrated Cognitive Maps and Z-Numbers Approach under Cognitive Information
Usually, in real-world engineering problems, there are different types of uncertainties about the studied variables, which can be due to the specific variables under investigation or interaction between them. Fuzzy cognitive maps, which addresses the cause-effect relation between variables, is one of the most common models for better understanding of the problems, especially when the quantitati...
متن کاملCognitive modeling with conceptual spaces
This paper presents a formal approach to cognitive modeling by utilizing conceptual spaces. Conceptual spaces were introduced by Peter Gärdenfors as geometric and topologic representations that mediate between the symbolic and subconceptual cognitive levels. They can be used for knowledge representation and to explain cognitive reasoning. The goal here is to discuss both the advantages of this ...
متن کاملThe Search for Cognitive Models: Standards and Challenges
Cognitive modeling is the distinguishing factor of cognitive science and the method of choice for formalizing human cognition. In order to bridge the gap between logic and human reasoning, a number of foundational research questions need to be rigorously answered. The objective of this paper is to present relevant concepts and to introduce possible modeling standards as well as key discussion p...
