We inhabit an ever-changing environment, in which sensing, processing and acting upon these changes can be essential for survival. When we move or when objects in the world move, the visual images projected onto each of our retinas change accordingly. The psychologist J. J. Gibson noted that important environmental information is embedded in this pattern of local retinal image velocities (Gibso...

In this paper, we introduce a projection technique that aims to place points representing individual images in a two-dimensional visualization space so that proximity in this space reflects some sort of similarity between the images. This visualization technique enables users to employ their visual ability to evaluate the significance of metadata as well as the characteristics of classification...

A big city visual analysis platform based on Web Virtual Reality Geographical Information System (WEBVRGIS) is presented. Extensive model editing functions and spatial analysis functions are available, including terrain analysis, spatial analysis, sunlight analysis, traffic analysis, population analysis and community analysis.

according to reports about 30-thousand people spent watching television had the impact on their memory and recall that the results showed no differences between men and women. the people who watched less than an hour a day did better at every memory function. as these contributors watched negative political ads, physiological responses indicated that their body was reflexively preparing to move...

aim and background: the aim of present study was to compare attachment styles between young adults with visual or auditory defects and normal groups in isfahan city. methods and materials: the present study assessed by ex-post facto method. the statistical society of the study is including of all young adults with visual, auditory defects and normal people.80 young adults with visual defects (4...

Deriving the exact casual model that governs the relations between variables in a multidimensional dataset is difficult in practice. It is because causal inference algorithms by themselves typically cannot encode an adequate amount of domain knowledge to break all ties. Visual analytic approaches are considered a feasible alternative to fully automated methods. However, their application in rea...

The GeoJabber concept, protocol, and working prototype software introduced here enable same-time different-place collaborative geovisualization. The key problem this work addresses is how to turn geovisual software states into persistent textual representations that can be shared between users. In the current implementation, GeoJabber leverages three key Open Source technologies: the GeoViz Too...

Interactive exploration and analysis of multi-field data utilizes a tight feedback loop of computation/visualization and user interaction to facilitate knowledge discovery in complex datasets. It does so by providing both overview visualizations, as well as support for focusing on features utilizing iterative drill-down operations. When exploring multi-field data, interactive exploration and an...

An ontology may be decomposed into a layer of binary fact types and a layer of application specific constraints imposed on these fact types. An ontology base is a large set of binary fact types called lexons. This paper presents LexoVis, a lexon visualization tool that addresses the inherent size and scale of ontology bases. LexoVis facilitates the analysis of lexons by providing an ordered vis...
