Experiments on effective color combinations in map-based information visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of harmonious versus non-harmonious color combinations in one aspect of information visualization effectiveness is considered. One focus is the relative suitability of two competing paradigms for determining color combinations that are harmonious. A second focus is the suitability of using opposing (i.e., opponent) colors for feature presentation in information visualization. The effects are considered for color item overlays on crowded and noncrowded displays. A statistical analysis of human responses is also presented.

Evaluating the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Visual Variables for Geographic Information Visualization
We propose an empirical, perception-based evaluation approach for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of longstanding cartographic design principles applied to 2D map displays. The approach includes bottom-up visual saliency models that are compared with eye-movement data collected in human-subject experiments on map stimuli embedded in the so-called flicker paradigm. The proposed method...
متن کاملEffective color combinations in isosurface visualization
The suitability of three classes of strategies governing color combination selection in isosurface-based volume visualization are explored. These classes are use of: (1) harmonious color combinations, (2) disharmonious color combinations, and (3) opponent color combinations. Suitability is assessed here via user evaluation of renderings of isosurfaces with multiple (nested) components. The sign...

Purpose: One of the most effective ways to achieve optimum information retrieval is through visualization of Information. Search strategies, probing skills, querying of information needs and analysis of information play a significant role in the accessing of necessary and useful information. Besides the factors mentioned above, information visualization can increase the availability level of in...
متن کاملA new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...
متن کاملColor map design for visualization in flood risk assessment
Visualizations of flood maps from simulation models are widely used for assessing the likelihood of flood hazards in spatial planning. The choice of a suitable type of visualization as well as efficient color maps is critical to avoid errors or bias when interpreting the data. Based on a review of previous flood uncertainty visualization techniques, this paper identifies areas of improvements a...
