To design, to study, and to control mixed animals-robots societies is a challenging field of scientific exploration that can bring new frameworks to study individual and collective behaviors in animal and mixed robot-animal societies. In the Chicken Robot project we aim at developing a mobile robot, able to collaborate with a group of chicks and to control certain group behaviors. The first research step is to build formal models of relevant animal behaviors by performing ethological experiments. Hence, one of the principal tasks is to design a setup equipped with appropriate monitoring tools. In this paper, we present a toolset for running chick-robot experiments and analyzing results. It includes an autonomous PoulBot robot and an experimental setup, able to autonomously record experimental video and audio data, to detect displacements of chicks and robots, to detect their calling activity and to provide robots with these data. We also present a visualdataanalysis system to extract behavioral features of individual chicks using the variational Bayesian Gaussian mixture model classification with a particle filters based prediction of future positions of chicks. We show how these tools are currently used to carry out chick-robot experiments, to collect behavioral data and to extract animal behavioral features that allow us to build behavioral models bound to be implemented in the robot.
data sets that contain geospatial and temporal elements can be challenging to analyze. In particular, it can be difficult to determine how the data have changed over spatial and temporal ranges. In this poster, we pre...

When using visualization techniques to explore data streams, an important task is to convey pattern changes. Challenges include: (1) Most dataanalysis tasks require users to observe the pattern change over a long time range;(2) The change rate of patterns is not a constant, and most users are normally more interested in bigger changes than smaller ones. Although distorting the time axis as proposed in the literature can partially solve this problem, most of these are driven by the user. This is however not applicable to streaming dataexploration tasks that normally require near real-time responsiveness. In this paper, we propose a data-driven framework to merge and thus condense time windows having small or no changes. Only significant changes are shown to users. Juxtaposed views are discussed for conveying data pattern changes. Our experiments show that our merge algorithm preserves more change information than uniform sampling. We also conducted a user study to confirm that our proposed techniques can help users find pattern changes more quickly than via a non-distorted time axis.

Tourists face a great challenge when they gather information about places they want to visit. Geographically tagged information in the form of Wikipedia pages, local tourist information pages, dedicated web sites and the massive amount of information provided by Google Earth is publicly available and commonly used. But the processing of this information involves a time consuming activity. Our goal is to make search for attractive places simpler for the common user and provide researchers with methods for exploration and analysis of attractive areas. We assume that an attractive place is characterized by large amounts of photos taken by many people. This paper presents a framework in which we demonstrate a systematic approach for visualization and exploration of attractive places as a zoomable information layer. The presented technique utilizes density-based clustering of image coordinates and smart color scaling to produce an interactive visualizations using Google Earth Mashup1. We show that our approach can be used as a basis for detailed analysis of attractive areas. In order to demonstrate our method, we use real-world geo-tagged photo data obtained from Flickr2 and Panoramio3 to construct interactive visualizations of virtually every region of interest in the world.

With particular focus on distributed situational awareness in defense and security applications, we propose a value-of-information based middleware framework as a paradigm shift from crawl-index based centralized search. The proposed approach seeks to improve efficiency in search and retrieval by transforming sensors into programmable information points and enabling ubiquitous data and software flows through the infrastructure of the distributed network. We explain the different components of such a middleware framework to organize, tag and notify emerging spatial, temporal and causal patterns from the sensor measurements. We conclude the paper with a brief discussion on the top-down programming model that can realize the framework as a reconfigurable sensor query system.
Complex combinations of coordinated multiple views are increasingly used to design tools for highly interactive visualexploration and analysis of multidimensional data. While complex coordination patterns provide sub...

In the comparative proteomics studies, visualization has become an emerging technique in the analysis. It provides an intuitive overview of large-scale mass spectrometry data sets with possibilities to further explore data details at different levels. While different visualization tools have already been developed, they are often designed to handle one or a few mass spectrometry data sets. Apparently, this is not enough as many proteomics studies involve many samples. It is much desired to simultaneously visualize all data sets in order to better examine data sets. In this paper, we present a visualization tool named SyncPro for differential analysis of multiple pre-processed proteomics data sets. It offers features to (i) compare many dIlta sets simultaneously;(ii) facilitate dataexploration through selection and extraction;(iii) quickly judge the quality of selected features. Our proposed method further enhances the functions of existing visualization tools.
