We present a visual analytics approach to explore and analyze movement data as collected by ecologists interested in understanding migration. Migration is an important and intriguing process in animal ecology, which may be better understood through the study of tracks for individuals in their environmental context. Our approach enables ecologists to explore the spatio-temporal characteristics of such tracks interactively. It identifies and aggregates stopovers depending on a scale at which the data is visualized. Statistics of stopover sites and links between them are shown on a zoomable geographic map which allows to interactively explore directed sequences of stopovers from an origin to a destination. In addition, the spatio-temporal properties of the trajectories are visualized by means of a density plot on a geographic map and a calendar view. To evaluate our visual analytics approach, we applied it on a data set of 75 migrating gulls that were tracked over a period of 3 years. The evaluation by an expert user confirms that our approach supports ecologists in their analysis workflow by helping to identifying interesting stopover locations, environmental conditions or (groups of) individuals with characteristic migratory behavior, and allows therefore to focus on visualdataanalysis.

Interactive visualexploration of large and multidimensional data still needs more efficient ND -> 2D data embedding (DE) algorithms. We claim that the visualization of very high-dimensional data is equivalent to the problem of 2D embedding of undirected kNN-graphs. We demonstrate that high quality embeddings can be produced with minimal time&memory complexity. A very efficient GPU version of IVHD (interactive visualization of high-dimensional data) algorithm is presented, and we compare it to the state-of-the-art GPU-implemented DE methods: BH-SNE-CUDA and AtSNE-CUDA. We show that memory and time requirements for IVHD-CUDA are radically lower than those for the baseline codes. For example, IVHD-CUDA is almost 30 times faster in embedding (without the procedure of kNN graph generation, which is the same for all the methods) of the largest (M = 1.4 . 10(6)) YAHOO dataset than AtSNE-CUDA. We conclude that in the expense of minor deterioration of embedding quality, compared to the baseline algorithms, IVHD well preserves the main structural properties of ND data in 2D for radically lower computational budget. Thus, our method can be a good candidate for a truly big data ( M = 10(8+)) interactive visualization.

In this paper, Knowledge Map is used to make a visualanalysis of 802 Chinese papers related to smart scenic spot research collected by CNKI, discuss the hot spots and development trends of smart scenic spot research in China. The research finds that the promotion of smart tourism policy plays a positive role in promoting the national smart tourism reform plan and realizing the establishment and implementation of smart tourism scenic spots in various regions, thus driving the growth of literature quantity. Nowdays the hotspots of smart tourism research in China focus on "smart scenic spots" "smart tourism" "scenic spot management" and "tourist attractions", with increasing heat. However, core authors and institutions published fewer papers, and their cooperation with each other was scattered, so no representative academic group was formed. At the same time, the cooperation of most research institutions in China is divided by regional scope, and trans-regional, cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional cooperation needs to be further strengthened. At present, domestic researches on smart scenic spots have gone deep into the practical application level, at the present stage, the development results are uneven, and the efficiency of production, education and research institutes is not obvious. In the future, the high-quality development of smart scenic spots still needs the exploration and deepening of scientific researchers.

Existing deep learning based visual servoing approaches regress the relative camera pose between a pair of images. Therefore, they require a huge amount of training data and sometimes fine-tuning for adaptation to a novel scene. Furthermore, current approaches do not consider underlying geometry of the scene and rely on direct estimation of camera pose. Thus, inaccuracies in prediction of the camera pose, especially for distant goals, lead to a degradation in the servoing performance. In this paper, we propose a two-fold solution: (i) We consider optical flow as our visual features, which are predicted using a deep neural network. (ii) These flow features are then systematically integrated with depth estimates provided by another neural network using interaction matrix. We further present an extensive benchmark in a photo-realistic 3D simulation across diverse scenes to study the convergence and generalisation of visual servoing approaches. We show convergence for over 3m and 40 degrees while maintaining precise positioning of under 2cm and 1 degree on our challenging benchmark where the existing approaches that are unable to converge for majority of scenarios for over 1.5m and 20 degrees. Furthermore, we also evaluate our approach for a real scenario on an aerial robot. Our approach generalizes to novel scenarios producing precise and robust servoing performance for 6 degrees of freedom positioning tasks with even large camera transformations without any retraining or fine-tuning.

The dispatch of emergency services is a complex cognitive task. Current decision support methods rely heavily on manual analysis of maps and map overlays. This paper aims to use call for service/emergency (CFS) dispatch data from various cities to look for patterns not usually amenable to visualanalysis that could be used to create decision support tools ormethods for dispatchers who must allocate first responder resources under emergency conditions. The authors have collected from the Police data Initiative, a publicly available government repository that contains millions of annotated 911 dispatch records. The authors have selected three major American cities (Hartford, CT;Lincoln, NE;and Orlando, FL). Three experiments are performed to assess possible benefits of augmenting conventional manual methods with automated analysis derived using methods of data science. In particular, high-dimensional and non-linearly coded information not amenable to manual analysis are considered.

Ultrasound image simulation is a well-explored field with the main objective of generating realistic synthetic images, further used as ground truth (e.g. for training databases in machine learning), or for radiologists' training. Several ultrasound simulators are already available, most of them consisting in similar steps: (i) generate a collection of tissue mimicking individual scatterers with random spatial positions and random amplitudes, (ii) model the ultrasound probe and the emission and reception schemes, (iii) generate the RF signals resulting from the interaction between the scatterers and the propagating ultrasound waves. To ensure fully developed speckle, a few tens of scatterers by resolution cell are needed, demanding to handle high amounts of data (especially in 3D) and resulting into important computational time. The objective of this work is to explore new scatterer spatial distributions, with application to 2D slice simulation from 3D volumes. More precisely, lazy evaluation of pseudo-random schemes proves them to be highly computationally efficient compared to uniform random distribution commonly used. A statistical analysis confirms the visual impression of the results.

South Africa has one of the highest rates of sexual violence in the world, and with this technology era being the information age, it is not suprising that people are turning to social media to voice their views on this matter. As tweets on sexual violence grow continually, extracting insights from such data demands a robust, real-time, and scalable tools with flexibility in the database schema. Elasticsearch (ES) is an example of a free-license search engine written in Java and developed on Apache Lucene that meets the stated requirements. On the other hand, Kibana facilitates intuitive dashboard development, visualexploration, and real-time analysis of an index in ES through an intuitive graphical user interface. This study demonstrates how gender was inferred and evaluated through the integration of deep neural networks and Google's TensorFlow. We used the AFINN model to infer sentiment analysis as our measure of gender disparity in this instance. The Indexer, built of Node. js, and defined as the hub of the system connects with the Twitter streaming API to ingest tweets found within the boundaries of sexual violence. This system runs persistently with tweets through the ES search engine and visualised in Kibana.

Multi device environments present new opportunities for collaborative visualdataanalysis and sense making by utilizing each device's strengths and capabilities. However, one of the associated challenges with visualdataanalysis in multi device environments is the sharing of visual components across devices. We present a framework developed on top of SAGE2 platform for cross-device collaborative visualdataexploration. As part of our framework, we contribute the concept of rapid development and assembling of visualizations that can span multiple devices of different modalities. It provides the users with an environment for visualization compositions that delegate the rendering to the target device, allowing them to augment their large display workspace with portable devices for further exploration territories. Facilitated by its intuitive visualization composition pipeline, users with no programming skills such as data analysts can enhance their analytical scope with no coding barriers. We describe the framework, its implementation with a use case, and the rationale behind its design.
