Charlotte Hoarau, Sidonie ChristopheGeoVIS - ISPRS GeoSpatial Week - Thursday, October 1srt 2015

CONTEXT and CHALLENGES

Hybrid visualization between maps and imagery

3C. Hoarau, S. Christophe GeoVIS – ISPRS GeoSpatial Week

Long term purpose

Modelisation of the cartographic style

Style navigation between cartographic representations

→ Design method to create Cartographic Continuum

Topographic Map Imagery


Design challenges

Create efficient hybrid visualizations

→ Avoid global image blending by transparency

→ Understand the perception of conveyed information

→ Create smooth transition to help cognitive tasks(such as feature recognition, territory comprehension, etc.)


Heterogeneous visual perception

02.07.15


Abstract representation of the real world

“All maps are abstractions of the reality”

[Robinson et Al. 95]

Information is identified, interpreted, structured and hierarchised

Abstraction steps in the cartographic process

Data selection

Data generalization

Data symbolization

Topographic map perception


Imagery perception

Realistic representation from the sky

Photo-realism effect

Automated acquisition

Continuous representation

Non encoded information

Increased credibility in a “ground truth”

Difficult to interpret as “raw” data


Question research

Orthoimagery Topographic map

How to merge them into an hybrid visualization ?

How to create visual and progressive transitions ?

CONCLUSION and PERSPECTIVES

Hybrid visualization between maps and imagery


Cartographic continuum design

Interpolating color and texture properties allows to create smooth graphic transitions

→ How to evaluate the evolution of the perception by merging representations ?


Integration of continuum in multiplexing tools

→ How to support specific cognitive tasks ?
