The temporal analysis of events in a production line helps manufacturing experts get a better understanding of the line's performance and provides ideas for improvement. Especially the identification of recurring error patterns is important, because these patterns can be an indicator of systematic production issues. We present a visual analytics approach to analyze event reports of a production line. Reported events are shown as a time series plot that can be decomposed into a trend, seasonal, and remainder component by applying Seasonal Trend decomposition using Loess (STL). To find specific event patterns, the data is filtered based on aspects such as the event description or the processed product. Identified temporal patterns can be extracted from the original event series and compared visually with each other. In addition to predefined settings, experts can define a subseries of the event series and the period length of STL's seasonal component through an automatically optimized brushing of the undecomposed plot. We developed the approach together with an industry partner. To evaluate our approach, we conducted two pair analytics sessions with our industry partner's experts. We demonstrate use cases from these sessions that showcase our approach's analytical potential. Moreover, we present general expert feedback that we collected through semi-structured interviews after the pair analytics sessions.

The variety of multimedia big data has promoted emerging applications of multiple sensorial media (mulsemedia) types, in which haptic information attracts increasing attentions. Until now, the interaction between haptic signal and conventional audio-visual signals have not been fully investigated. In this work, we make an exploration on the cross-modal interactivity in task-driven scenarios. We first explore the correlation between visual attention and haptic control in three designed tasks: random-trajectory, fixed-trajectory and obstacle-avoidance. Then, we propose a visual-haptic interaction model that estimates kinesthetic position of haptic control with the information of gaze only. By incorporating a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, the proposed model provides effective prediction in the scenarios of fixed-trajectory and obstacle-avoidance, with its performance superior to other selected machine learning-based models. To further examine our model, we execute it in a haptic control task using visual guidance. Implementation results show a high task achievement rate.

Many approaches for analyzing a high-dimensional dataset assume that the dataset contains specific structures, e.g., clusters in linear subspaces or non-linear manifolds. This yields a trial-and-error process to verify the appropriate model and parameters. This paper contributes an exploratory interface that supports visual identification of low-dimensional structures in a high-dimensional dataset, and facilitates the optimized selection of data models and configurations. Our key idea is to abstract a set of global and local feature descriptors from the neighborhood graph-based representation of the latent low-dimensional structure, such as pairwise geodesic distance (GD) among points and pairwise local tangent space divergence (LTSD) among pointwise local tangent spaces (LTS). We propose a new LTSD-GD view, which is constructed by mapping LTSD and GD to the x axis and y axis using 1D multidimensional scaling, respectively. Unlike traditional dimensionality reduction methods that preserve various kinds of distances among points, the LTSD-GD view presents the distribution of pointwise LTS (x axis) and the variation of LTS in structures (the combination of x axis and y axis). We design and implement a suite of visual tools for navigating and reasoning about intrinsic structures of a high-dimensional dataset. Three case studies verify the effectiveness of our approach.

Students who are visually impaired face unique challenges when learning mathematical concepts due to the visual nature of graphs, charts, tables, and plots. While touchscreens have been explored as a means to assist people with visual impairments in learning mathematical concepts, many devices are not standalone, were not developed with a user-centered design approach, and have not been tested with users who are visually impaired. This research details the user-centered design and analysis of an electrostatic touchscreen system for displaying graph-based visual information to individuals who are visually impaired. Feedback from users and experts within the visually-impaired community informed the iterative development of our software. We conducted a usability study consisting of locating haptic points in order to test the efficacy and efficiency of the system and to determine patterns of user interactions with the touchscreen. The results showed that: (1) participants correctly located haptic points with an accuracy rate of 69.83% and an average time of 15.34 s out of 116 total trials, (2) accuracy increased across trials, (3) efficient patterns of user interaction involved either a systematic approach or a rapid exploration of the screen, and (4) haptic elements placed near the corners of the screen were more easily located. Our user-centered design approach resulted in an intuitive interface for people with visual impairments and laid the foundation for demonstrating this device's potential to depict mathematical data shown in graphs.

Exploring large-scale data to determine an analysis approach is often made difficult by the sheer size of the data. If the characteristics of the data, including any variations within the data set, are not taken into account, our choice of algorithms and associated parameters may not be optimal, resulting in possibly inaccurate conclusions drawn from the data. Iteratively refining the analysis approach, as is normally done with smaller data sets, becomes prohibitively expensive for large-scale data. A typical solution is to randomly subsample the data set and determine the analysis algorithms using the characteristics of this subsample. In this paper, we propose the use of an improved sampling algorithm that is modified to identify well-distributed samples in a single pass through the data set. We then describe how we can use this subsample to probe the data in a second pass. Using very simple, low-cost algorithms, we demonstrate that the additional insight gained in this second pass can improve the process of analyzing large-scale data sets.

dataanalysis and visualization are an essential part of the scientific discovery process. As HPC simulations have grown, I/O has become a bottleneck, which has required scientists to turn to in situ tools for simulation dataexploration. Incorporating additional data, such as runtime performance data, into the analysis or I/O phases of a workflow is routinely avoided for fear of excaberting performance issues. The paper presents how the Uintah Framework, a suite of HPC libraries and applications for simulating complex chemical and physical reactions, was coupled with VisIt, an interactive analysis and visualization toolkit, to allow scientists to perform parallel in situ visualization of simulation and runtime performance data. An additional benefit of the coupling made it possible to create a "simulation dashboard" that allowed for in situ computational steering and visual debugging.

Computed tomography is a great source of biomedical data because it allows a detailed exploration of complex anatomical structures. Some structures are not visible on CT scans, and some are hard to distinguish due to partial volume effect. CT datasets require preprocessing before using them as anatomical models in a simulation system. The work describes segmentation and data transformation methods for an anatomical model creation from the CT data. The result models may be used for visual and haptic rendering and drilling simulation in a virtual surgery system.
