The analysis and exploration necessary to gain deep understanding of large databases demand an intuitive and informative human-computer interface. In this paper, we present a visualization system with a client-server architecture for multiscale visualization of relational databases. The visual interface on the client supports web-based remote access. We use zoom trees to represent the entire history of a zooming process that reveals multiscale details. Every path in a zoom tree represents a zoom path and every node in the tree can have an arbitrary number of subtrees to support arbitrary branching and backtracking. Zoom trees are seamlessly integrated with a table-based overview using "hyperlinks" embedded in the table. To support fast query processing on the server, we further develop efficient GPU-based parallel algorithms for online data cubing and CPU-based data clustering. Also, a user study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of our design.
We introduce Venice Unfolding, a case study on tangible geo-visualization on an interactive tabletop to enable the exploration of architectural projects in Venice. Our tangible user interface consists of a large displ...

The paper describes the design of pile foundation on the site of the Elektrenai power plant, Lithuania. The foundation is aimed to support equipment of the power plant consisting of the gas turbine, the steam turbine and the generator. Besides high loads, the equipment had a strong dynamic impact on the foundation due to its working conditions and vibration. The pilling solution was adopted due to different reasons: i) the capacity of the soil to support great stresses over it;ii) the special requirements of the main equipment about settlements, movements and stresses. Pilling foundation was evaluated through immediate settlement analysis, which was carried out employing four most widely used methods. It included analysis of the soil data from cone and dynamic penetration tests, boreholes and laboratory tests. Soil properties were estimated from site investigation and soil exploration program according to Lithuanian standards. Pile settlement analysis showed that settlement value was 14 mm (pile toe settlement), and settlement value of elastic deformation of pile from vertical compressive loads was 3 mm. For such structure, foundation settlement should not be more than 16 mm (i.e., no more than 2 % of pile diameter). It was estimated that for pile of diameter 800 mm, pile length of 24 m was sufficient to endure overall loads.

Urban areas are highly variable in remote sensing data, thus it can be difficult to detect changes over time caused by development or by movement of specific targets. This research is a first attempt at exploration of repeat flights of 20m spatial resolution imaging spectrometer data to identify and characterize sources and the nature of spectral variability in urban/rural environments. data for two dates were atmospherically corrected using a MODTRAN-based model to independently correct each dataset for atmospheric effects. The data were geocorrected and co-registered then cropped to a common spatial coverage. Spectra for individual pixels and for ROIs were extracted from the two datasets and visual and statistical comparisons were made between spectra to assess the effects of collection parameters and atmospheric corrections. Spectral endmembers were determined for each flightline, mapped using spectral matching methods, and compared across flightlines. This approach allowed determination of relatively spectrally invariant areas versus areas with significant spectral change. The combined datasets were used to develop thematic layers and evaluate spectral variability versus changes principally due to urban development.

The research presented in this paper aimed at development of a robust;feature space exploration technique for unsupervised selection of its subspace for feature vectors classification. Experiments with synthetic and textured image data sets show that current sequential and evolutionary strategies are inefficient in the cases of large feature vector dimensions (reaching the order of 102) and multiple-class problems. Thus, the proposed approach utilizes the concept of hybrid genetic algorithm and adopts it for specific requirements of unsupervised learning.
Eye movement recordings produce large quantities of spatio-temporal data, and are more and more frequently used as an aid to gain further insight into human thinking in usability studies in GIScience domain among othe...

It remains challenging for information visualization novices to rapidly construct visualizations during exploratory dataanalysis. We conducted an exploratory laboratory study in which information visualization novices explored fictitious sales data by communicating visualization specifications to a human mediator, who rapidly constructed the visualizations using commercial visualization software. We found that three activities were central to the iterative visualization construction process: data attribute selection, visual template selection, and visual mapping specification. The major barriers faced by the participants were translating questions into data attributes, designing visual mappings, and interpreting the visualizations. Partial specification was common, and the participants used simple heuristics and preferred visualizations they were already familiar with, such as bar, line and pie charts. From our observations, we derived abstract models that describe barriers in the dataexploration process and uncovered how information visualization novices think about visualization specifications. Our findings support the need for tools that Suggest potential visualizations and support iterative refinement, that provide explanations and help with learning, and that are tightly integrated into tool support for the overall visual analytics process.
