Companies trading stocks need to store information on stock prices over specific time intervals, which results in very large databases. Large quantities of numerical data (thousands of records) are virtually impossible to understand quickly and require the use of a visual model, since that is the fastest way for a human brain to absorb those enormous collections of data. However, little work has been done on verifying which visualizations are more suitable to represent these data sets. Such work is of crucial importance, since it enables us to identify those useful visual models and, in addition, opens our minds to new research possibilities. This paper presents an empirical study of different visualizations, that have been employed for stock market data, by comparing the results obtained by all studied techniques in typical exploratory dataanalysis tasks. This work provides several research contributions to the design of advanced visualdataexploration interfaces. Copyright 2006 ACM.

data audification is the representation of data by means of sound signals (waveforms or melodies typically). Although most dataanalysis techniques are exclusively visual in nature, data presentation and exploration systems could benefit greatly from the addition of sonification capabilities. In addition to that, sonic representations are particularly useful when dealing with complex, high-dimensional data, or in data monitoring or analysis tasks where the main goal is the recognition of patterns and recurrent structures. The main goal of this paper is to briefly present the audification process as a mapping between a discrete data set and a discrete set of notes (we shall deal with MIDI representation), and look at a couple of different examples from two well distinguished fields, geophysics and linguistics (seismograms sonificaton and text sonification). Finally the paper will present another example of the mapping between data sets and other information, namely a 3D graphic image generation (rendered with POVRay) driven by the ASCii text.

Most of the existing research on multivariate time series concerns supervised forecasting problems. In comparison, little research has been devoted to unsupervised methods for the visualexploration of this type of data. The interpretability of time series clustering results may be difficult, even in exploratory visualization, for high dimensional datasets. In this paper, we define and test an unsupervised time series relevance determination method for Generative Topographic Mapping Through Time, a topology-constrained Hidden Markov Model that performs simultaneous time series data clustering and visualization. This relevance determination method can be used as a basis for time series selection, and should ease the interpretation of the time series clustering results.
It becomes an increasingly important research area to automatically analyze object behaviors from visually captured data (e.g., motion) or video recordings. Among this research, the automatic basic behavior unit (BBU)...

Social network analysis (SNA) has emerged as a powerful method for understanding the importance of relationships in networks. However, interactive exploration of networks is currently challenging because: (1) it is difficult to find patterns and comprehend the structure of networks with many nodes and links, and (2) current systems are often a medley of statistical methods and overwhelming visual output which leaves many analysts uncertain about how to explore in an orderly manner. This results in exploration that is largely opportunistic. Our contributions are techniques to help structural analysts understand social networks more effectively. We present SocialAction, a system that uses attribute ranking and coordinated views to help users systematically examine numerous SNA measures. Users can (1) flexibly iterate through visualizations of measures to gain an overview, filter nodes, and find outliers, (2) aggregate networks using link structure, find cohesive subgroups, and focus on communities of interest, and (3) untangle networks by viewing different link types separately, or find patterns across different link types using a matrix overview. For each operation, a stable node layout is maintained in the network visualization so users can make comparisons. SocialAction offers analysts a strategy beyond opportunism, as it provides systematic, yet flexible, techniques for exploring social networks.

Flying insects are able to manoeuvre through complex environments with remarkable ease and accuracy despite their simple visual system. Physiological evidence suggests that flight control is primarily guided by a small system of neurons tuned to very specific types of complex motion. This system is a promising model for bio-inspired approaches to low-cost artificial motion analysis systems, such as collision avoidance devices. A number of models of motion detection have been proposed, with the basic model being the Reichardt Correlator. Electrophysiological data suggest a variety of non-linear elaborations, which include compressive non-linearities and adaptive feedback of local motion detector outputs. In this paper we review a number of computational models for motion detection from the point of view of ease of implementation in low cost VLSI technology. We summarise the features of biological motion analysis systems that are important for the design of real-time artificial motion analysis systems. Then we report on recent progress in bio-inspired analog VLSI chips that capture properties of biological neural computation.

Maps are especially known for their capability to provide insight in geographic patterns and trends. Maps do this well because they only present a selection of the complex reality and visualize it in an abstract way. But today they have many more roles to play. They should also be seen as flexible interface to geospatial data, since they offer interaction with the data behind the visual representation and additionally maps are instruments that encourage exploration. As such they are used to stimulate (visual) thinking about geospatial patterns, relationships, and trends. The context where maps like this operate is the world of geovisualization which can be described as a loosely bounded domain that addresses the visualexploration, analysis, synthesis and presentation of geospatial data by integrating approaches from disciplines including cartography with those from scientific visualization, image analysis, information visualization, exploratory dataanalysis, visual analytics, and GIScience. Contact with all those disciplines has enriched the world of maps but have also stimulated others to use the map (metaphor) to visualize non-geographic data. The discussion illustrated the new and exiting role maps can play to visualize geographic and non-geographic data in combination with other visual means

An endmember is an idealized, pure signature for a class and provides crucial information for hyperspectral image analysis. Recently, endmember extraction has received considerable attention in hyperspectral imaging due to significantly improved spectral resolution where the likelihood of a hyperspectral image pixel uncovered by a hyperspectral image sensor as an endmember is substantially increased. Many algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. One great challenge in endmember extraction is the determination of number of endmembers, p required for an endmember extraction algorithm (EEA) to generate. Unfortunately, this issue has been overlooked and avoided by making an empirical assumption without justification. However, it has been shown that an appropriate selection of p is critical to success in extracting desired endmembers from image data. This paper explores methods available in the literature that can be used to estimate the value, p. These include the commonly used eigenvalue-based energy method, An Information criterion (AIC), Minimum Description Length (MDL), Gershgorin radii-based method, Signal Subspace Estimation (SSE) and Neyman-Pearson detection method in detection theory. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods, two sets of experiments are conducted for performance analysis. The first set consists of synthetic image-based simulations which allow us to evaluate their performance with a priori knowledge, while the second set comprising of real hyperspectral image experiments which demonstrate utility of these methods in real applications.
